Are Foreign Actors Hacking Our Democracy?
Manage episode 434135971 series 1763136
Over the weekend, an anonymous hacker sent internal Trump campaign documents to POLITICO and the Washington Post. The campaign says the documents received by the reporters were obtained illegally by Iran. However, this isn't the first time something like this has happened. In June, Biden campaign staffers received spear phishing emails. FOX News Contributor and former CIA clandestine services officer Dan Hoffman tells the Rundown why foreign adversaries would be interested in election interference and why it threatens our national security.
Control of the White House is not the only thing up for grabs in November. Republicans hope to retake the Senate as Democrats are forced to defend seats in Trump-friendly states. One of those key races is in Montana, where Democrat incumbent Senator John Tester faces tough competition against a political newcomer, Navy SEAL Veteran Tim Sheehy. Former President Trump recently visited the state, rallying with the candidate as they attempt to flip the seat to red. Senate Candidate Tim Sheehy joins the Rundown to discuss what inspired him to run for public office, where he stands on issues like the border crisis and Ukraine aid, and why he believes he's the right man to unseat Senator Tester.
Plus, commentary from the author of "You Will Own Nothing" Carol Roth.
