Lara Trump says it’s ‘pretty obvious’ who’s behind Trump website hack and Musk interview glitch

August 13, 2024 | | Print Article

The daughter-in-law of former President Trump called out the “massive effort” by the deep state to keep him out of the White House.

Lara Trump spoke with Fox News host Sean Hannity about the many glitches and lengthy delay to the start time of the former president’s X interview with Elon Musk on Monday, warning that “adversaries” are “terrified” of his return to the White House and are pulling out all the stops to prevent it.

“They’re hacking your father-in-law’s website. My understanding is he has the top cybersecurity people who put it together. We’re not dealing with amateurs here,” Hannity told the Co-Chair of the Republican National Committee.

“Now, they have gone hard after Elon Musk tonight and limiting the number of people that can see your father-in-law earlier tonight,” the host of “Hannity” continued, making note of the European Union’s letter to Musk criticizing the interview.

“I think it’s pretty obvious at this point, there are a lot of people out there and there’s a massive effort, of course, to keep Donald Trump out of the White House. These people are terrified. This is the deep state. This is the swamp in Washington, D.C..,” Lara Trump, the wife of Eric Trump, said.

“These are the people who are our adversaries in many cases, they know that the jig is up, the game is over when Donald J. Trump returns to the White House and they are petrified of it,” she added.

“They’ve had a free pass for three and a half years that the people who want to do nefarious activities to us here in America, to our allies around the world, they’ve gotten a free pass and a free ride and they would like another four years of that with Kamala Harris at the helm,” Trump continued.

“Donald Trump is the only person who can deliver this country back to ‘we, the people’ – the only person who can make sure that the world is stabilized once again,” she said. “And there are, I assume, Sean, a lot of people out there who don’t want to see that happen for really awful reasons, quite frankly.”

With a 40-minute delay to the start of Musk’s lengthy interview with Trump, the billionaire X owner blamed a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack.

In related news, the Trump campaign blamed “foreign sources hostile to the United States” for hacking internal communications. The campaign cited a report that Iranian hackers “sent a spear phishing email in June to a high-ranking official on a presidential campaign.”

“These documents were obtained illegally from foreign sources hostile to the United States, intended to interfere with the 2024 election and sow chaos throughout our Democratic process,” Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung said.

“On Friday, a new report from Microsoft found that Iranian hackers broke into the account of a ‘high ranking official’ on the U.S. presidential campaign in June 2024, which coincides with the close timing of President Trump’s selection of a vice presidential nominee,” he added.
