FBI Investigates Phishing Attempts Linked to Trump and Harris Campaigns

The FBI is currently investigating phishing attempts targeting individuals associated with both the Trump and Harris campaigns. This comes in the wake of previous allegations that Iran was sanctioned by its Supreme Leader to interfere in the 2020 election to undermine Donald Trump. Representative Mike Turner criticized the Biden administration for its lack of accountability towards Iran, particularly in light of an alleged Iranian plot to assassinate Trump. Turner, who oversees the intelligence community, emphasized the need for a clear response from the administration regarding these threats. He noted that the Director of National Intelligence has indicated that Moscow's preference for candidates remains unchanged, favoring Trump as it did in the 2016 and 2020 elections. This raises concerns about foreign interference in the upcoming elections and the administration's strategy to counteract it. In discussions about the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, Turner expressed support for Ukraine's efforts to hold Russia accountable. He highlighted the importance of modifying restrictions imposed by the Biden administration, arguing that Ukraine is in a position to push back against Russian aggression. He also warned against allowing Iran to develop nuclear capabilities, stating that such a development would drastically alter the geopolitical landscape. Turner criticized the Democrats for their approach to Iran, contrasting it with Trump's maximum pressure campaign, which he claims effectively constrained Iran's military and economic power. He raised alarms about the potential for Iran to declare itself a nuclear weapon state by the end of the year under the current administration's policies.
