State Democratic party officials told Bloomberg Newson Wednesday about an influx of phone calls from self-described Trump supporters flooding their lines on the night of the caucuses and NBC News discovered that the post on 4chan was at least one of the sources.
In a statement to NBC News, the Trump campaign denied any involvement in the campaign to jam the Iowa Democraty party’s phone lines.
