		</div><p>Hackers have stolen 2.3 million dollars (£1.93m) from the Wisconsin Republican Party’s account that was being used to help re-elect Donald Trump in the battleground state, the party’s chairman has said.</p>
<p>The party noticed the suspicious activity on October 22 and contacted the FBI a day later, Republican Party chairman Andrew Hitt said.</p>
<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>Mr Hitt said the FBI is investigating.</p>
<p>“There’s no doubt RPW is now at a disadvantage with that money being gone,” Mr Hitt said. The party and campaign needs money late in the race to make quick decisions, he said.</p>
<p>Mr Hitt said the hackers were able to manipulate invoices from four vendors who were being paid to send out direct mail for Mr Trump’s re-election efforts and to provide pro-Trump material such as hats that could be handed out to supporters.</p>
<p>Invoices were altered so when the party paid them, the money went to the hackers instead of the vendors, Mr Hitt said.</p>
<p>He said it appears the attack began as a phishing attempt.</p>
<p><!--Ads2--></p>
<p>Mr Trump won Wisconsin by fewer than 23,000 votes in 2016 and it remains a key swing state this year.</p>
<p>He is planning his third visit to the state in a week on Friday. Democrat Joe Biden also plans to campaign in Wisconsin on Friday.</p>
