Iranian Operatives Charged in Trump Campaign Hack

The U.S. Justice Department has charged three Iranian operatives for hacking Donald Trump's presidential campaign and distributing stolen information to the media. Despite attempts to leak sensitive campaign documents, major news organizations like Politico and The New York Times declined to publish the information. Independent journalist Ken Klippenstein released a 271-page opposition research file on Trump's running mate, JD Vance. The hack is believed to be part of an Iranian effort to influence the U.S. election, and U.S. intelligence agencies have linked it to the Iranian government. The FBI is investigating the matter, and there are ongoing concerns that the hackers may still have access to campaign materials.
