NEW YORK (AFP) – Republican Donald Trump led a headline-grabbing New York rally on Sunday with non-stop attacks on Kamala Harris, but Democrats sought to capitalize on crude insults from some of his allies' opening speeches.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Chinese state-affiliated hackers intercepted audio from the phone calls of US political figures, including an unnamed campaign adviser of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, the Washington Post reported on Oct. 27.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency said on Oct. 25 that they were investigating unauthorized access to commercial telecommunications infrastructure by people associated with China.
Trump's campaign and the FBI did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
It was also reported that the hackers were able to access unencrypted communications, such as text messages, of the individual.
Reuters reported on Oct. 25 that Chinese hackers also targeted phones used by people affiliated with the campaign of Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris.
Trump and running mate J.D. Vance were targeted, various media outlets reported last week.
