The House Judiciary Committee announced it is opening an inquiry into how Iran was able to hack into former President Donald Trump’s presidential campaign. 

House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan, Ohio Republican, on Friday requested an unclassified briefing with FBI Director Christopher Wray following a report from the FBI, Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency that found that Iran had “attempted to interfere” with Mr. Trump’s campaign in “late June and early July.” 

The report found that during that time, Iran sent unsolicited emails to people associated with the Biden-Harris campaign that “contained an excerpt taken from stolen, non-public material from former President Trump’s campaign.” Mr. Jordan wrote that since then, Iran has continued “to send stolen, non-public material” from the Trump-Vance campaign to the media.

“Iran’s actions raise serious concerns about foreign election interference targeting President Trump’s campaign to support President Biden’s and Vice President Harris’s campaigns,” Mr. Jordan wrote. “We write to request information about this serious matter.”

The Trump-Vance campaign said in August that it had been hacked, and said that Iranian actors were to blame. At least three news outlets — Politico, The New York Times and The Washington Post — were leaked confidential material from inside the campaign, but so far, each has refused to reveal any details about what it received.

Mr. Jordan requested a slew of items to be addressed during the unclassified briefing, which he requested take place no later than Sept. 26. He’s asking what material was obtained from Mr. Trump’s campaign, who the hackers sent it to at the Biden-Harris campaign, what actions the Harris campaign took with the material, and who the FBI has interviewed related to the matter, among other things.
