The U.S. Justice Department on September 27 unsealed criminal charges accusing three members of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of hacking Donald Trump's presidential campaign and trying to disrupt the November 5 election. The indictment is the latest effort by the Biden administration to counter foreign efforts to interfere in the presidential election between Trump, a Republican, and his Democratic rival Vice President Kamala Harris. The U.S. Treasury Department also said it was imposing sanctions on seven members of the IRGC.
