Kevin Collier is a reporter covering cybersecurity, privacy and technology policy for NBC News.
An American journalist who runs an independent newsletter published a document Thursday that appears to have been stolen from Donald Trump’s presidential campaign — the first public posting of a file that is believed to be part of a dossier that federal officials say is part of an Iranian effort to manipulate the U.S. election. The PDF document is a 271-page opposition research file on former President Donald Trump’s running mate, Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio.
Iranian officials have denied involvement with the hack. Mohammad Javad Zarif, Iran’s vice president for strategic affairs, told NBC News on Tuesday that the country has “no interest in changing the results or affecting the results of this election” and that “the government and official agencies of Iran have not hacked anybody. People working for us haven’t, either.” The Office of the Director of National Intelligence has repeatedly said since July that Iran seeks to damage Trump’s candidacy.
