U.S. Prepares Charges Over Trump Campaign Hack Allegations
U.S. authorities are poised to file criminal charges following accusations that the Iranian government hacked the Trump campaign's internal communications. Despite Iran's denial, the FBI is investigating an online persona, 'Robert,' who allegedly shared falsified documents claiming to be from the Trump campaign.
U.S. authorities are set to file criminal charges after the Trump campaign alleged in August that some of its internal communications were hacked, blaming the Iranian government, according to the Washington Post.
The Iranian government has denied these allegations. The FBI's investigation has zeroed in on an online persona named 'Robert,' who reportedly distributed documents falsely claiming to be sourced from the Trump campaign.
The unfolding case marks another chapter in the ongoing cybersecurity issues surrounding U.S. political entities.
