08-14-2024 (52.89 MB)
On today's 'BradCast': Major media outlets report someone is shopping around purported internal Trump Campaign documents. The Trump Campaign claims it was hacked by Iran, and threatened media outlets against publication of the purloined documents, a hypocritical reversal of Donald Trump's glee over the publication of internal Clinton Campaign documents in 2016. Independent national security journalist MARCY WHEELER of Emptywheel explains what is known and unknown about the Trump Campaign hack, Iran's alleged involvement, and the serious national security implications of Trump co-mingling his campaign accounts with his legal accounts, potentially allowing hackers to gain access to highly classified information related to Trump's stolen classified documents case. Also today: Tropical Storm Ernesto caused extensive damage to Puerto Rico's electric grid as it intensified into a hurricane. Primary results in CT, VT, MN and WI underscore the Democrats' tenuous hold on their US Senate majority in November.
