JAKARTA - A member of the US Congress from the Republican Party from Nebraska, Donui, stated on Monday evening August 14 that the FBI had warned him that its email was hacked by Chinese spies, with personal messages and a compromised campaign.

They were told that the Chinese Communist Party had access to its account for about a month to June 16, he said on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter.

The campaign reportedly led to the theft of hundreds of thousands of emails from senior US officials, including US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo and US Ambassador to China Nicholas Burns.

CNN previously reported that email accounts at the US House of Representatives were targeted in the same campaign.

"There are many other victims in this cyber operation," saidOC. in X. "The Communist government in China is not our friend and is very active in carrying out cyber espionage."

The Chinese Embassy in Washington did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment. The FBI and Microsoft also did not immediately respond.

ciple, who was elected to Congress in 2016, is a former Air Force Brigadier general and is currently a member of the Armed Services Committee at the House of Representatives, which helps determine the annual budget and US military spending plans.
