Authorities indicated that there is no proof that the Biden campaign requested or reacted to these emails. The communications were sent in late June and early July, prior to Biden&#8217;s withdrawal from the race on July 21. These emails included excerpts from stolen, confidential materials related to Trump&#8217;s campaign. The cybercriminals have continued reaching out to media outlets regarding Trump\u2019s campaign, although many publications have declined to publish this information. The FBI described this malicious cyber activity as a recent instance of Iran\u2019s multifaceted strategy aimed at creating discord and eroding trust in the electoral process. They emphasized their ongoing efforts in monitoring this activity, maintaining contact with affected parties, and pursuing investigations against those responsible for these threats. Additionally, they noted that countries like Russia, Iran, and China are attempting to exploit divisions within U.S. society during election periods for their own gain. The agency firmly stated that any attempts by foreign entities to undermine democratic institutions pose a direct threat to the United States and will not be tolerated<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2343119,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Trump_Biden_out_464.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[32245,41189,41190],"class_list":["post-2343118","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-biden-campaign","tag-iranian-hackers","tag-trump-materials"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Trump_Biden_out_464.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2343118","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2343118"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2343118\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2343119"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2343118"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2343118"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2343118"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
