Minnesota Water Cyberattack Trump Iran: Two Different Stories
The Minnesota water cyberattack Trump Iran dispute pits the president's public blame of a governor against his own FBI's active Iran investigation. Here's the full story.
“you know who’s behind it? minnesota,” trump said. “because they’re grossly incompetent. i think the governor’s behind it. i don’t think there was an iranian cyberattack. i think minnesota ought to get its act together.”
he went further, dismissing the notion that iran had the capacity or interest to be involved at all: “they like to say, ‘oh, it was iran.’ iran should be so lucky. iran’s got bigger problems than worrying about minnesota.”
