Iranian operatives charged in Trump campaign hack

The Justice Department has charged several Iranian operatives in connection with the hack of former President Trump’s 2024 campaign.

Prosecutors on Friday unsealed charges against Masoud Jalili, Seyyed Ali Aghamiri and Yasar Balaghi — all members of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, a branch of the nation’s armed forces.  

They each face 18 counts, including aggravated identity theft, material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization, wire fraud, and conspiracy to obtain information from a protected computer.
