Major news outlets admit to possession of hacked info from Trump campaign, but have not used it
August 14, 2024 | Vivek Saxena
None of the media outlets who were sent hacked content from former President Donald Trump’s campaign have published the content yet.
As previously reported, a hacker obtained internal documents from the Trump campaign and then distributed them to at least three major news outlets: the Washington Post, the New York Times, and Politico.
But amazingly, none of the outlets, all of them left-wing, have published the hacked content, raising the question of why not.
“Instead, Politico, the New York Times, and the Washington Post have written about a potential hack of the campaign and described what they had in broad terms,” as reported by the Associated Press.
According to the Times, the hacked documents include “research about and assessments of potential vice-presidential nominees, including Senator JD Vance, whom Mr. Trump ultimately selected.”
“Like many such vetting documents, they contained past statements with the potential to be embarrassing or damaging, such as Mr. Vance’s remarks casting aspersions on Mr. Trump,” the Times reported.
Is that why they haven’t published the hacked content? This reason seems unlikely, critics say, given the leftist media’s 24/7 rush to attack the Trump campaign, especially during this election cycle.
Some suspect the media is purposefully holding onto the hacked documents for now but plan to slowly start releasing their potentially damaging contents the closer Election Day 2024 looms.
