SUMMARY

A grand jury has indicted several Iranians for hacking Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign. The federal charges follow an Iranian operation that stole internal communications earlier this summer.

The stolen materials were later shared with journalists and the Joe Biden campaign before Kamala Harris became the Democratic nominee.

Details about the defendants and specific charges are not yet known. The indictment was approved in secret, with the Justice Department set to announce the charges soon.

The Trump campaign has accused Tehran of the breach, referencing a Microsoft report about a phishing email sent to a high-ranking campaign official.
