Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre stated to the Washington Examiner, &#8220;This administration firmly denounces any foreign government or organization that tries to meddle in our electoral process or undermine trust in our democratic institutions.&#8221; Over the weekend, Trump&#8217;s campaign revealed that it had been targeted by foreign hackers believed to be from Iran. Microsoft disclosed on Friday that an Iranian group had sent a spear phishing email to a senior official within a presidential campaign, originating from a compromised account of a former senior adviser. Initially, it was unclear which campaign was affected; however, Trump later addressed the incident on social media. A 271-page vetting document concerning Trump&#8217;s potential running mate, Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH), was sent via email to at least two news organizations\u2014Politico and The Washington Post\u2014with Politico noting that the document relied on publicly available information about Vance&#8217;s history and statements. The White House emphasized its serious stance towards such reports and reiterated its zero-tolerance policy for any form of foreign influence or interference efforts. Jean-Pierre mentioned that further details would need to come from either the FBI or the Department of Justice. U.S. intelligence officials have raised alarms about hostile foreign entities attempting to sway the upcoming presidential election, prompting Rep.
