The accused Iranian hacking group who intercepted Republican US presidential candidate Donald Trump'scampaign emails have finally found some success in getting their stolen material published after initially failing to interest the mainstream media.
In recent weeks, the hackers began peddling Trump emails more widely to one Democratic political operative, who has posted a trove of material to the website of his political action committee, American Muckrakers, and to independent journalists, at least one of whom posted them on the writing platform Substack. The latest material shows Trump campaign communications with external advisers and other allies, discussing a range of topics leading up to the 2024 election.
