An Iran-linked hacking group using the alias “Robert” has threatened to release a large cache of emails allegedly stolen from individuals close to former President Donald Trump. According to Reuters, the group claims to have obtained roughly 100 gigabytes of email data tied to Trump’s 2024 campaign, including correspondence involving longtime adviser Roger Stone and White House chief of staff Susie Wiles. Though the contents of the emails have not yet been released, the group has a history of leaking politically sensitive material during key election periods.

In addition to targeting Trump’s inner circle, the hackers also claim to have accessed accounts belonging to attorney Lindsey Halligan and adult film actress Stormy Daniels—known for her past legal battles with Trump over a $130,000 nondisclosure payment. The claims, if true, could pose a significant national security and political threat, especially in the context of rising tensions between the U.S. and Iran.

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) condemned the alleged cyberattack, calling it a “calculated smear campaign” aimed at disrupting American democratic processes. CISA warned that foreign adversaries are increasingly using cyber operations to create division and confusion, especially around high-profile political figures. They stressed that the information is unverified and illegally obtained, urging media and the public to be cautious.

The FBI has launched an investigation into the breach. FBI Director Kash Patel told Reuters that all parties involved in compromising national security will be investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Previous leaks tied to the group have included communications about Trump’s financial arrangements and discussions involving Stormy Daniels and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s legal team.

This development comes as U.S.-Iran relations deteriorate further. Trump recently authorized airstrikes on Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility, claiming it had been “totally obliterated” with confirmation from Israeli intelligence. CIA Director John Ratcliffe added that Iran’s nuclear program had suffered serious damage. Trump warned of more potential military action if Iran resumes uranium enrichment and stated bluntly, “We may sign an agreement, or we may not. I don’t care if I have an agreement or not.”
