Will it use hacked materials again? Trump campaign will not say.
By Sean Sullivan and Sean Sullivan Reporter covering national politics Email Bio Follow Michael Scherer Michael Scherer National political reporter covering campaigns, Congress and the White House Email Bio Follow April 26 at 8:00 AM President Trump’s reelection campaign won’t say whether it would use stolen information from hacks or other breaches, setting up a clash with Democratic rivals who have pledged to forgo such tactics and prompting some worry in Trump’s own party.
Although Democrats agree that the posture of Trump and his associates is unnerving, there is less harmony among them about the steps they should take to dissuade foreign actors from sowing discord and avert unseemly tactics in the race. They are also dealing with hard feelings from 2016, when hacked emails showed how party leaders sought to thwart Sen. Bernie Sanders , now a more prominent White House hopeful seeking the Democratic nomination.
In July 2016, Trump publicly encouraged Russia to try to unearth private emails belonging to Hillary Clinton. “Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing,” he said at the time. Sen. Richard Blumenthal a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, called Giuliani’s comments “pretty astonishing,” adding that he had to read them three times before he could believe what he was seeing. Blumenthal said that “both sides have to draw a line in the sand” against hacking and illegal interference.
“Our campaign condemns the use for political gain of information or material obtained by illegal means,” said Jeff Giertz, a spokesman for Sen. Cory Booker . After initially indicating that the hacked email was the basis for its claim against CAP, a Sanders campaign aide later said that was not the case. The aide pointed to news reports about a 2015 CAP publication analyzing the economic impact of a $10.10-an-hour wage, which did not mention or oppose a $15 wage, and Tanden’s vote against a measure to aggressively push for $15 in the 2016 Democratic Party platform. The platform she voted to support ultimately did call for a $15 wage.
