Iran's cyber strike on Trump campaign: Stefanik slams FBI for 'election interference' to aid Dems
Fox News
House Republican Conference Chair Elise Stefanik claimed that the FBI is “covering up" Iranian election interference to “tip the scales" for Democrats.
"I believe there was politicization from the Biden-Kamala Harris administration that they were notified prior to the Trump campaign to tip the scales," she claimed. "The FBI has functioned like an arm of the Democrat Party."
The Trump campaign claimed in August it was hacked by Iran. In September, the Department of Justice (DOJ) confirmed that Iran had hacked the campaign and indicted three Iranian nationals for their alleged role in the scheme.
On Sept. 19, the FBI conducted a closed briefing with Stefanik and other members of the Intelligence Committee on foreign election interference. During the briefing, Stefanik said FBI officials appeared "panicked" when she questioned them, but promised to follow up with answers.
