President Trump’s re-election campaign has not publicly stated that it will not use hacked materials to its advantage — in glaring contrast with the DNC and a long list of the party's 2020 candidates who have pledged not to do so.
, said that while investigators had found no criminal conspiracy between the campaign and the Russians, the Trump team expected to"benefit electorally from information stolen and released through Russian efforts."they would not take advantage of illegally obtained information. Most of those campaigns have confirmed to NBC News that their positions remain unchanged.
In February, the Trump campaign chose not to state their position on using such information and, on Wednesday, neither the campaign nor the Republican National Committee responded to repeated requests for comment.his counterpart at the RNC, Ronna McDaniel, to commit to the same cybersecurity platform heading into 2020.
The White House did not immediately respond to questions about future use of such material, but when asked about denouncing future Russian interference, spokesman Hogan Gidley pointed to the president’s past statements. Trump has not pledged to stay away from using any kind of hacked or stolen data in the coming cycle.
Vice President Mike Pence did not directly respond to a question from NBC News Wednesday about whether he regretted the campaign’s use of hacked emails in 2016 and whether he would pledge not to do so again, repeating the administration’s position that the Mueller report found no collusion between the campaign and Russia.
