Donald Trump now claims that Vice President Kamala Harris is spying on his campaign and demands she resign in the wake of these allegations.
It comes after Iranian hackers stole sensitive information from Trump’s campaign and offered it up to President Joe Biden.
Microsoft revealed in August that hackers tied to the Iranian government have for months been trying to influence the presidential election.
And on Wednesday, the FBI claimed the cyber-terrorists sent unsolicited emails containing stolen information from the Trump campaign to people connected to the Democratic president in an effort to interfere.
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Mike Turner, R-Ohio, is now questioning why the Biden or Harris campaign did not turn over this information or report it to authorities.
‘What did they do with Iran’s espionage?’ he questioned on X. ‘Did they contact law enforcement?’
‘Is the Biden-Harris Administration colluding with Iran?’
Donald Trump accused Kamala Harris of ‘spying’ on his campaign after the FBI revealed Iranian hackers stole sensitive information and turned it over to the Democrat’s 2024 campaign
In an all caps Truth Social post, Trump concluded the new report proves that Harris was spying on his campaign and demanded that his rival resign – but said she would only be replaced by a ‘communist’ candidate.
‘WOW, JUST OUT!’ Trump wrote on his social media site on Wednesday. ‘THE FBI CAUGHT IRAN SPYING ON MY CAMPAIGN, AND GIVING ALL OF THE INFORMATION TO THE KAMALA HARRIS CAMPAIGN.’
‘THEREFORE SHE AND HER CAMPAIGN WERE ILLEGALLY SPYING ON ME.’
‘WILL KAMALA RESIGN IN DISGRACE FROM POLITICS?’ he questioned.
The new evidence claims Iranians sought to disrupt the presidential election by hacking into sensitive information from Trump and offering the material to Biden’s campaign.
But in late July, Harris took over her boss’s reelection campaign and is now the Democratic nominee for the presidential election in November.
A spokesperson for the Harriz-Walz campaign said they were ‘not aware of any material being sent directly to the campaign.’
‘A few individuals were targeted on their personal emails with what looked like a spam or phishing attempt.’
The spokesperson went on to say they’ve ‘cooperated with the appropriate law enforcement authorities’ since they were informed of the foreign operation.
Trump also spoke out about the hack attempt at his rally in Long Island, New York on Wednesday.
‘Biden is working with Iran and Iran doesn’t exactly like me because they were ready to make a deal, except we had an election that was rigged and stolen.’
There’s no evidence that any of the recipients of the hacked information responded, officials said, and instead prevented it from surfacing in the final months of the closely contested election.
The hackers sent emails in late June and early July to people who were associated with Biden’s campaign before he dropped out on July 21 and endorsed his vice president to take his spot.

The emails ‘contained an excerpt taken from stolen, non-public material from former President Trump’s campaign as text in the emails,’ according to a statement from the FBI and other federal agencies.
It represents the latest effort by U.S. officials to call out Iran’s brazen, ongoing work to interfere in the 2024 election, including a hack-and-leak campaign that the FBI and other federal agencies linked last month to Tehran.
Additionally, the FBI uncovered a plot by Iranian-linked individuals to assassination Trump and other U.S. politicians and officials – like President Biden and former 2024 Republican primary candidate Nikki Haley.
The Justice Department has been preparing charges in the latest breach.
