NY Post Politics Reporter Josh Christenson shares this story.

Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) members Masoud Jalili, Seyyed Ali Aghamiri and Yasar Balaghi were charged in the “wide-ranging hacking campaign” that employed fake online personas and targeted four Trump campaign operatives, current and former US government officials, journalists and others.
