It should come as no surprise that Iran would hack into former President Donald Trump’s campaign network, as they don’t want him to become president again, retired CIA analyst Fred Fleitz told Newsmax.

“I’m sure the Russians and the Chinese are also trying to do this,” Fleitz said on Newsmax’s “Sunday Report.” “They want to destroy Donald Trump and his candidacy because they do not want another decisive president back in the White House and they cannot wait for this weak person, Kamala Harris, to assume the Oval Office. That’s when our country will be at maximum peril.”

Trump’s campaign said Saturday some of its internal communications were hacked and blamed the Iranian government, after Politico revealed it started to get emails in July from an anonymous source calling himself “Robert” who offered documents from the campaign, including a vetting report about running mate J.D. Vance.
