Donald Trump has come out to claim that Iran has made ‘real and specific threats’ to assassinate him.
The Republican presidential candidate’s campaign made the assertion Tuesday night, in a statement that painted the plans ‘as an effort to destabilize and sow chaos in the United States.’
The bulletin was sent out by Trump Campaign Communications Director Steven Cheung, and claimed the ex-commander-in-chief had already been briefed about the supposed plot.
This comes days after investigators found that Iranian ‘malicious cyber actors’ emailed associates of President Biden’s campaign with information ‘taken from stolen, non-public material from Trump’s campaign’ over the summer.
It also follows two failed assassination attempts on the aspiring two-term president, the most recent of which occurred just this month.
Donald Trump’s campaign claimed Iran has made ‘real and specific threats’ to assassinate him on Tuesday night.
‘Intelligence officials have identified that these continued and coordinated attacks have heightened in the past few months,’ Cheung said.
‘Law enforcement officials across all agencies are working to ensure President Trump is protected and the election is free from interference.
‘Make no mistake, the terror regime in Iran loves the weakness of Kamala Harris, and is terrified of the strength and resolve of President Trump,’ he went on to claim.
‘He will let nothing stop him or get in his way to fight for the American people and to Make America Great Again.’
