Klippenstein, an independent journalist, received the documents from hackers who are reportedly part of an Iranian effort to influence the U.S. presidential election. The dossier contains information from former President Donald Trump’s campaign vetting Sen. JD Vance and his potential as a running mate.
The document appears to reveal information about Vance’s political stances on numerous issues, such as higher taxes for people without children. The dossier also discusses Vance's since-deleted tweet about accusations of sexual assault against Trump. It also contains Vance’s personal information, including his phone number, email address, and home address.
Klippenstein’s account on X has been suspended in violation of its policies for sharing a link to his Substack post, which contained this sensitive information.
