It was on Saturday that the ex-president's campaign announced that Iran's regime had hacked their email and then stolen and spread sensitive internal documents. The purpose, according to the Trump campaign, was to disrupt the autumn's presidential election.
The news site Politico has stated that they received an email from an anonymous sender in June, containing documents from Trump's organization, whose authenticity has been confirmed.
However, there is no evidence that it is Iran behind the leak. The claim came shortly after Microsoft issued a report describing foreign agents' attempts to interfere with the election.
"In recent months, we have seen the emergence of significant influence from Iranian actors," the report from Microsoft's Threat Analysis Center (MTAC) states, according to BBC.
The report indicates that Iranian hackers targeted an American presidential candidate in June. Which of the candidates is not specified, but their campaign is said to have received a message with a credible design.
Iran's UN delegation denies involvement and tells the news agency AP that the regime has neither reason nor motive to interfere with the American presidential election.
