By Kristen Holmes, Evan Perez and Holmes Lybrand, CNN (CNN) — Kash Patel, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to run the FBI, was recently informed by the bureau that he had been targeted as part of an Iranian hack, two sources familiar with the matter told CNN.
Kash Patel, President-elect Trump’s nominee to lead the FBI, was among those targeted by an Iranian cyber attack. It’s unclear whether any information was gained through the attack, but it makes Patel the latest figure in the Trump campaign to be pursued by the nation.
