he FBI is investigating a cyber intrusion against a major Democratic Party congressional fundraising group, an attack that may be related to an earlier hack against the party apparatus, four people familiar with the matter told Reuters.
The previously unreported incident at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, or DCCC, and its potential ties to Russian hackers are likely to sharpen concern, so far unproven, that Moscow is attempting to meddle in U.S. elections.
Hacking of the party's emails has clouded this week's Democratic convention in Philadelphia, where Hillary Clinton was scheduled to accept the party's presidential nomination on Thursday evening.
The breach at the DCCC may have been intended to gather information about donors, rather than to steal money, the sources said on Thursday.
