"we can confirm john's twitter account was hacked," the hillary clinton campaign confirmed wednesday.  | getty by cory bennett 10/12/16 08:45 pm edt clinton campaign chair john podesta is facing more digital woes. late today, podesta's twitter account sent out a strange tweet reading: "i've switched teams.vote trump 2015.hi pol" story continued below the tweet was quickly deleted, but the clinton campaign confirmed the account had been hacked. "we can confirm john's twitter account was hacked, which would explain the message," spokesman nick merrill told reporters in las vegas. podesta is already in the news because of an ongoing wikileaks dump of his apparent personal gmail account. the trove of emails have revealed snippets of the much-sought-after paid speeches that democratic presidential nominee hillary clinton gave to goldman sachs and others after leaving the state department. podesta has said the fbi is investigating the hack of his email account. but he <u+2014> and the clinton campaign more broadly <u+2014> have declined to confirm the accuracy of any individual emails. podesta claimed the fbi was looking into the digital theft as part of a broader investigation into an alleged moscow-orchestrated cyber assault on the u.s. electoral system. on friday, u.s. intelligence officials blamed the kremlin for the recent digital break-ins at a number of political institutions, including the democratic national committee. the hacks, and subsequent leak of pilfered documents and emails, have roiled the democrats and forced the ouster of several top dnc officials after internal messages showed the committee apparently favoring clinton<u+2019>s white house bid over that of her rival, sen. bernie sanders (i-vt.). by bill scher by joshua zeitz by thomas wright by jack shafer
