Republican nominee Donald Trump said he was informed by Microsoft Corp. that one of his campaign websites was hacked by the Iranian government, but said the hackers were only able to access “publicly available information” in the breach.
“Nevertheless, they shouldn’t be doing anything of this nature,” Trump said in a post on his Truth Social network on Saturday. “Iran and others will stop at nothing, because our Government is Weak and Ineffective, but it won’t be for long.”
