The briefing, from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), is believed to have focused on a scheme unrelated to two failed domestic assassination attempts against the Republican nominee for president, and came amid reports suggesting that Iran is conducting a continuing hack against Trump's campaign.
Steven Cheung, the Trump campaign's spokesman, said the briefing concerned "real and specific threats from Iran to assassinate [Trump] in an effort to destabilise and sow chaos in the United States".
He added: "Intelligence officials have identified that these continued and coordinated attacks have heightened in the past few months, and law enforcement officials across all agencies are working to ensure President Trump is protected and the election is free from interference." The ODNI confirmed to the Guardian yesterday morning that the briefing took place.
