Chinese government hackers have tried to get inside telephones used by former president Donald Trump, Sen. JD Vance and others in their campaign for the White House, officials familiar with the matter said Friday.
It could not immediately be learned whether the attempts on the candidates were successful, but the hack is believed to have compromised the phones of staffers, two of the people said. Two more people familiar confirmed the targeting of Trump and Vance, which was first reported by the New York Times.
