Donald Trump is now claiming that Vice President Kamala Harris is spying on his campaign and is demanding that she resign over the allegations.
This happened after Iranian hackers stole sensitive information from Trump’s campaign and gave it to President Joe Biden.
Microsoft announced in August that hackers with ties to the Iranian government had been trying to influence the presidential election for months.
And on Wednesday, the FBI alleged that the cyberterrorists sent unsolicited emails containing stolen Trump campaign information to people associated with the Democratic president in an attempt to disrupt operations.
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Mike Turner, R-Ohio, is now questioning why the Biden or Harris campaigns did not turn over or report this information to authorities.
“What have they done about Iran’s espionage?” he asked on X. “Have they contacted the police?”
‘Is the Biden-Harris Administration Colluding with Iran?’
Donald Trump accused Kamala Harris of ‘spying’ on his campaign after the FBI revealed that Iranian hackers stole sensitive information and turned it over to the 2024 Democratic campaign
In an all-caps post on Truth Social, Trump concluded that the new report proves Harris spied on his campaign and demanded that his rival resign, saying she would only be replaced by a “communist” candidate.
“WOW JUST OUT!” Trump wrote on his social media site on Wednesday. “THE FBI CAUGHT IRAN SPYING ON MY CAMPAIGN AND PASSING ALL THE INFORMATION TO THE KAMALA HARRIS CAMPAIGN.”
‘THAT’S WHY SHE AND HER CAMPAIGN HAVE ILLEGALLY SPIED ON ME.’
“WILL KAMALA RESIGN FROM POLITICS IN DISGRACE?” he asked.
New evidence shows that Iranians sought to disrupt the presidential election by hacking sensitive Trump information and providing the material to Biden’s campaign.
But in late July, Harris took over her boss’s re-election campaign and is now the Democratic nominee for the November presidential election.
Trump also spoke out about the hacking attempt during his rally in Long Island, New York, on Wednesday.
“Biden is working with Iran, and Iran is not exactly thrilled with me because they were willing to make a deal. Only the election was rigged and stolen.”
Officials say there is no evidence that recipients of the hacked information responded and prevented the information from getting out in the final months of the tense election.
The hackers sent emails to people involved in Biden’s campaign in late June and early July, before he left office on July 21 and endorsed his vice president to take his place.
Trump said Kamala Harris should resign in wake of latest revelations
According to a statement from the FBI and other federal agencies, the emails “include an excerpt of stolen, non-public materials from former President Trump’s campaign embedded in the text of the emails.”
It is the latest effort by U.S. officials to expose Iran’s brazen and ongoing efforts to interfere in the 2024 election, including a hacking and leaking campaign that the FBI and other federal agencies last month linked to Tehran.
In addition, the FBI uncovered a plot by individuals with ties to Iran to assassinate Trump and other American politicians and officials, including President Biden and former 2024 Republican primary candidate Nikki Haley.
The Justice Department is preparing charges in connection with the latest breach.
