Well, you knew that, but I thought I'd remind you. Welcome to the President's Daily Brief. I'm Mike Baker. Your eyes and ears on the world stage. Let's get briefed. Today, we start with reports that Kash Patel, Donald Trump's pick to lead the FBI, was targeted in a cyber attack allegedly linked to Iran, marking yet another Trump official that apparently is in the crosshairs of the Islamic regime.
We've got the details. Later in the show, France's government collapses following a no-confidence vote against its prime minister, and that's just weeks after the fall of the German government. Plus, just hours after the dramatic martial law declaration, opposition parties are moving to impeach the president of South Korea.
And in today's Back of the Brief, a shocking murder in New York City, right there in Midtown, as the CEO of America's largest insurance provider is fatally shot outside a Manhattan hotel. But first, today's BDB Spotlight.
We'll begin with Iran as we learn of a fresh effort by cyber operatives within the Islamic regime to compromise the communications of members of the incoming Trump administration. Intelligence officials familiar with the situation told CNN on Wednesday that Kash Patel, Donald Trump's pick to lead the FBI, was the latest victim of a recent Iranian hack.
Now, it was not immediately clear when the hack took place or how successful it was, though anonymous sources said they believe the hackers gained access to at least some of Patel's private communications.
A spokesman for the Trump transition team declined to directly comment on the situation, but praised Patel as a key part of Trump's first term maximum pressure campaign against, quote, the terrorist Iranian regime.
