CNN: According to FBI, Kash Patel’s Communications Are Compromised by Iranian Hackers

EXCERPT:

HOLMES: "Yeah, Anderson, we are told that Kash Patel was told by the FBI that he had been targeted in an Iranian hack. Now, this comes from two sources. One of those sources telling us that they believe that at least some of Patel‘s communications were compromised. Unclear how much, unclear how big this hack was, but this is just the latest in a series of complications and a series of hackings that we have seen from foreign governments, whether it be the Chinese hackers who targeted some of Trump‘s inner circle on their phone, as well as the Iranian hackers who have targeted many of Trump‘s lawyers, for example, as well as his inner circle. Don Jr. saying he was informed by the FBI that he was one of the biggest targets for Iran. Now, I will quickly read you the statement that we got from Kash Patel spokesperson at the transition, Alex Pfeiffer. He said, 'Kash Patel was a key part of the first Trump Administration‘s efforts against the terrorist Iranian regime and will implement President Trump‘s policies and protect America from the adversaries as the FBI director.'”
