US Vice President and candidate of the Democrats, Kamala Harris, has debunked rumour making the round that she made use of materials that the FBI said Iranian hackers gathered from email accounts associated with former President Donald Trump’s campaign and sent to President Joe Biden’s campaign before he left the race, Edum News reports.
Speaking to newsmen, a Harris campaign official, corroborated the claims, maintaining that it did not use any of the materials.
Trump’s campaign has earlier demanded more information from Harris’ campaign including that it disclose the materials it received and whether it was used.
Over the summer, Iranian hackers sent unsolicited emails to individuals associated with then-candidate Biden that contained an excerpt taken from stolen, non-public material from former President Trump’s campaign as text in the emails, according to information released by the FBI and other U.S. intelligence agencies.
