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.
