FBI probing Trump campaign hack that also includes attempt on Biden-Harris campaign

The FBI has confirmed it is investigating the alleged hacking of Donald Trump’s campaign in a probe that reportedly also includes attempts to gain access to the email accounts of officials in the former presidential campaign of Joe Biden and his then-running mate Kamala Harris.

An FBI spokesperson acknowledged the law enforcement agency’s involvement Monday, but declined to elaborate on the scope of the investigation or any suspects. However, a report issued last week by Microsoft said that Iranian hackers sent a “spear phishing email” to an official with an unnamed presidential campaign.

The apparent breach resulted in sensitive Trump campaign documents being emailed to POLITICO last month, which first reported on the cybersecurity lapse Saturday.
