Gawker: Saudi Royal Drama: Hackers Spreading Gossip About Deputy Crown Prince and Hillary Clinton
On Sunday, the Jordanian state news agency Petra published a story in which Saudi Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman boasted about funding 20 percent of Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign. In a statement Monday, Petra said the now-deleted story was published as part of a “hack.”
“The Agency was surprised to see some media outlets as well as the social media publishing false news that were attributed to Petra,” the statement reads. “They said that Petra transmitted a news item related to the deputy crown prince of Saudi Arabia and later deleted this news item. This is totally false and untrue.”
