The FBI confirmed on August 12 that it was investigating a complaint from Donald Trump's presidential campaign that Iran had hacked and distributed a trove of sensitive campaign documents.
The announcement is the latest US government effort to call out what officials say is Iran's brazen, ongoing work to interfere in the election, including a hack-and-leak campaign linked to Tehran.
Kamala Harris' presidential campaign called the emails from Iran unwelcome and unacceptable malicious activity that were received by only a few people who regarded them as spam or phishing attempts.
US officials in recent months have used criminal charges, sanctions and public advisories to detail actions taken by foreign adversaries to influence the election, including an indictment targeting a covert Russian effort.
