Trump’s campaign team accused Iran of hacking their emails and distributing a trove of sensitive information in August 2024. At least three news organizations—Politico, The New York Times, and The Washington Post —received the documents but did not report on their contents.

An Iranian hacking group, "Robert," has threatened to release stolen emails from Trump allies Susie Wiles and Roger Stone. The U.S. Cybersecurity Agency dismissed the threat as propaganda aimed at damaging Trump and discrediting his associates.
