Donald Trump's presidential campaign website was briefly hacked and defaced tonight.

It claimed, alongside US government seals, "This site was seized" because "The world has had enough of the fake news spreaded [sic] daily by President Donald J Trump."

The page also claimed "Multiple devices were compromised that gave full access to Trump and relatives," among other wild allegations.

A spokesman for the Trump campaign told NBC News the "Website was defaced and we are working with law enforcement authorities to investigate the source of the attack," adding: "There was no exposure to sensitive data because none of it is actually stored on the site. The website has been restored."

America goes to the polls this November 3, an election that will decide who is President for the next four years: incumbent Republican Donald Trump, or Democratic nominee Joe Biden.
