The FBI and other intelligence agencies revealed Wednesday that Iran sent information stolen during its hack on the Trump campaign to the Biden campaign and continues to send material to various media outlets.
“Iranian malicious cyber actors in late June and early July sent unsolicited emails to individuals then associated with President Biden’s campaign that contained an excerpt taken from stolen, non-public material from former President Trump’s campaign as text in the emails,” the agency wrote in a joint statement alongside the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA).

The Harris campaign condemned the sharing of Trump campaign data but said what appears to be phishing emails sent to staffs’ personal emails were ignored.
“We have cooperated with the appropriate law enforcement authorities since we were made aware that individuals associated with the then-Biden campaign were among the intended victims of this foreign influence operation. We’re not aware of any material being sent directly to the campaign; a few individuals were targeted on their personal emails with what looked like a spam or phishing attempt,” Harris-Walz campaign spokesperson Morgan Finkelstein said in a statement.

The article goes on to say that the Iran also tried to hack the Biden Harris campaign but was unsuccessful in doing so.
And of course we have the media double standard of being hands off on this info while being all over the 2016 Clinton emails.
