What a shambles!!
The U.S. Department of Justice national security division is investigating whether cyber hacking attacks on Democratic political organizations threatened U.S. security, sources familiar with the matter said on Friday. Campaign officials were involved in crisis talks after the public disclosure of the Justice Department investigation. Hours after the disclosure, it issued a statement claiming its own cyber security review had found 'no evidence' of a breach.
Spokesman Nick Merrill said: 'An analytics data program maintained by the DNC, and used by our campaign and a number of other entities, was accessed as part of the DNC hack. 'Our campaign computer system has been under review by outside cyber security experts. To date, they have found no evidence that our internal systems have been compromised.'
But in an astonishing twist, Yahoo News reported that the campaign had been warned by the FBI it was at risk in March - but refused to turn over details to federal investigators to help them catch the perpetrators.
Security risk? Anthony Weiner, who accompanied his wife Huma Abedin at the Democratic National Convention.
Her emails may have been compromised. Trump has mocked him for his sexting scandal.
- Sources tell Reuters that the Clinton campaign, which is based in Brooklyn, New York, was the target of a cyber breach
- Justice department's national security division is now leading the investigation in proof that officials believe foreign state carried out attacks
- Thousands of hacked emails from Democratic National Committee were published by Wikileaks; chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz quit in disgrace
- Now Democrats will fear Clinton campaign's most intimate secrets could be spilled into the open
- Huma Abedin, Clinton' vice-chair of the campaign and her closest aide, works from the office that was hacked
- Her husband Anthony Weiner has been mocked by Donald Trump over his use of Twitter for sending sexual messages
- Russia remains prime suspect for mass hacking of Democratic systems
- First leak also revealed anti-gay slurs, mocking African Americans and attempts to con reputable news outlets with fake Trump videos
- Clinton campaign says its own experts have not found evidence they were hacked
