The FBI says it’s investigating attempts by Iran to hack the campaigns of Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. The FBI’s announcement came after a Trump campaign spokesperson claimed an Iranian cyberattack was to blame for the release of internal documents to Politico and other news outlets, including a so-called dirty laundry dossier on Trump’s running mate, JD Vance.
On Monday evening, Trump returned to the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, for the first time since he was banned for inciting the January 6 Capitol insurrection. The live stream hosted by CEO Elon Musk was delayed by 40 minutes due to technical malfunctions. Trump’s return to X came after he rallied thousands of supporters in Montana over the weekend.
Donald Trump: “If comrade Walz and comrade Harris win this November, the people cheering will be the pink-haired Marxists, the looters, the perverts, the flag burners, Hamas supporters, drug dealers, gun grabbers and human traffickers.”
Trump left Montana aboard a private jet after his Boeing 757 experienced a mechanical problem. The Trump campaign later confirmed press reports that the Gulfstream jet was once owned by Jeffrey Epstein. A spokesperson said the Trump campaign had “no idea” the plane used to belong to the serial sexual predator. Trump was a longtime high-profile friend of Epstein who previously flew aboard his private planes at least seven times.
