HeadlineDec 05, 2018

Politico is reporting the email accounts of four senior aides at the National Republican Congressional Committee were hacked in the lead-up to the 2018 midterm elections. The accounts were reportedly surveilled for several months. The NRCC first learned of the possible attack in April; they informed the FBI and launched an internal investigation, but senior Republican House leaders were not notified. Party officials believe the hack was perpetrated by a foreign agent.
