Iranian Hackers Allegedly Leak Trump Campaign’s 271-Page Dossier on JD Vance’s Weaknesses
The Trump campaign has claimed that a massive leak of internal documents, including a detailed 271-page file on Senator J.D. Vance’s (R-OH) potential vulnerabilities, may have been orchestrated by Iranian hackers. While these claims have yet to be confirmed, the leaked information has raised significant concerns within the campaign.
Politico, the outlet that received the leaked communications, reported that the documents were sent by an anonymous source claiming to have obtained them through hacking. The Trump campaign confirmed the authenticity of the communications on Saturday, attributing the leak to foreign entities hostile to the United States. According to campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung, these documents were obtained illegally with the intent to disrupt the 2024 election and create chaos within the American democratic process.
Supporting this claim, a recent report from Microsoft indicated that Iranian hackers had compromised the email account of a high-ranking official within the Trump campaign in June 2024. This hacking incident reportedly coincided with the period when President Trump was in the process of selecting his vice-presidential running mate.
The Microsoft report further detailed that another Iranian group, believed to be connected to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), attempted a spear phishing attack on a senior official in a presidential campaign. The phishing email, sent from the compromised account of a former senior advisor, contained a malicious link designed to reroute traffic through a domain controlled by the hackers.
Politico revealed that it began receiving emails on July 22 from an AOL account under the alias “Robert.” These emails included internal communications from the Trump campaign, with one email containing the extensive 271-page dossier on J.D. Vance titled “POTENTIAL VULNERABILITIES.” When questioned about the source of the documents, “Robert” advised Politico not to investigate further, suggesting that such inquiries could legally jeopardize the publication of the information.
This incident is not the first time Trump has been targeted by hackers. In 2020, his social media account was compromised when a hacker guessed his password, “maga2020!” Moreover, Trump has allegedly been the target of an Iranian assassination plot, leading to charges against a Pakistani man with ties to the Islamic Republic by the Department of Justice.

WHO IS ERICH VON DÄNIKEN?
Erich von Däniken is one of the most influential and controversial figures in modern non-fiction literature, renowned for his provocative theories about humanity's origins. He gained global fame in 1968 with the publication of his groundbreaking book Chariots of the Gods (also known as Memories of the Future). This work sparked a global conversation, challenging established scientific and historical narratives by suggesting that extraterrestrial beings had visited Earth in the distant past. Over the years, von Däniken has written more than 32 books, including The Eyes of the Sphinx, Twilight of the Gods, History Is Wrong, Evidence of the Gods, and Odyssey of the Gods. His works have been translated into 28 languages, with total sales exceeding 63 million copies worldwide. Several of his books have also been adapted into films, and his ideas have served as the foundation for numerous television series, most notably the History Channel's hit show Ancient Aliens.
Residing in Switzerland, von Däniken remains a fixture on the international lecture circuit, captivating audiences with his bold assertions and unconventional interpretations of archaeological and historical evidence. His work has inspired generations of enthusiasts to reconsider ancient texts, artifacts, and monuments, viewing them through the lens of advanced extraterrestrial technology.
Despite widespread criticism from the scientific community, which has labeled his work as pseudoscience and pseudohistory, von Däniken has persisted in presenting compelling archaeological discoveries as potential proof of ancient extraterrestrial encounters. His contributions, though controversial, have fueled a cultural fascination with the idea that humanity's past may be intertwined with intelligent life from beyond our planet.
Born on April 14, 1935, in Zofingen, Switzerland, von Däniken was raised in a devout Catholic family and received a rigorous education at the Catholic School of Saint-Michel in Fribourg. However, his academic path was cut short, and by the age of 19, he had begun working in the hospitality industry. While managing a Swiss hotel, he embarked on extensive travels to explore ancient sites, using personal funds to visit Egypt, Lebanon, South America, and beyond. These travels laid the foundation for his first book, Chariots of the Gods, which he completed while managing a hotel in Davos.
Initially rejected by multiple publishers, the book finally found a home with Econ-Verlag in Düsseldorf, Germany, in 1967. The publisher requested that a professional writer, Wilhelm Roggersdorf, revise von Däniken's manuscript before publication. On February 27, 1968, the first edition of Chariots of the Gods—featuring an iconic illustration of the lid of Pakal’s sarcophagus from Palenque—hit the shelves. Von Däniken interpreted the artwork as depicting an ancient astronaut or extraterrestrial visitor, a theory that resonated with readers worldwide.
By the end of its first year, the book had sold over 146,000 copies, quickly becoming a bestseller in Germany. It was soon translated into English, French, and Spanish, with sales surging in the United States after Bantam Books published a 200,000-copy paperback edition in 1970. The book's massive success even led to its adaptation into a documentary film, further cementing von Däniken's legacy.
In 1973, von Däniken founded the Ancient Astronaut Society, dedicated to exploring and promoting the theory of ancient extraterrestrial contact. His work continued to gain momentum, with Chariots of the Gods reaching its 44th edition in 1974 and worldwide sales estimated between 4 and 5 million copies by that time. Between 1968 and 1997, von Däniken published 20 books, all of which were translated into 32 languages, with total global sales reaching between 40 and 54 million copies, depending on the source.
WHAT IS THE "ANCIENT ASTRONAUT" HYPOTHESIS?
The "ancient astronaut" hypothesis, popularized by von Däniken, posits that intelligent extraterrestrial beings visited Earth in the distant past, profoundly influencing the development of human civilizations, technologies, and religions. According to this theory, many of the gods, deities, and figures from ancient mythologies—often described as descending from the skies—were, in fact, extraterrestrial visitors. Early humans, unable to comprehend the advanced technology of these beings, interpreted their presence and actions as divine interventions, which became the foundation of many of the world’s religions.
This hypothesis suggests that humanity is either a direct creation or the descendants of these alien visitors. Several core arguments underpin this theory:
Ancient Constructions: The construction of monumental structures such as the Great Pyramids, Stonehenge, and the Moai statues of Easter Island, which some believe required technologies beyond the capabilities of ancient civilizations.
OOPARTs (Out-of-Place Artifacts): Mysterious artifacts that appear to be technologically advanced for their time, such as the Antikythera mechanism, are presented as evidence of extraterrestrial influence.
Hieroglyphs and Ancient Texts: Some ancient texts, like the Sumerian tablets or the Indian Vedas, contain descriptions that von Däniken and his supporters interpret as accounts of alien encounters or advanced flying machines (vimanas).
Religious Traditions: Many religious stories, such as the ascension of prophets or gods descending from the heavens, are reinterpreted as encounters with extraterrestrial beings.
HISTORICAL TRANSCENDENCE
The significance of Chariots of the Gods lies not only in the radical theories it introduced but also in its role in making the wonders of ancient archaeology accessible to millions of people. Through von Däniken’s writings, readers from around the globe were introduced to historically and culturally significant sites like Easter Island, Machu Picchu, the pyramids of Egypt, and the Nazca Lines of Peru—many of which they might never have heard of otherwise. His work ignited a sense of wonder about humanity’s past, spurring curiosity and debate on the mysteries of ancient civilizations.
Regardless of the scientific reception of his ideas, Erich von Däniken has succeeded in capturing the imaginations of countless readers, challenging them to question what they know about history, archaeology, and the universe. His enduring legacy is not just the theories he presents, but the door he opened to a broader exploration of the unknown, inviting us to see the past through new eyes.
