PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Latest on the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia (all times EDT):

11:37 a.m.

The FBI has confirmed that agents are investigating a cyberattack involving the Democratic National Committee that resulted in the release this weekend in embarrassing emails.

In a statement Monday, the FBI said it was investigating a “cyber intrusion” affecting the DNC and was “working to determine the nature and scope of the matter.”

The FBI said it will “continue to investigate and hold accountable those who pose a threat in cyberspace.”

Emails arising from the hack were posted over the weekend to WikiLeaks. Their release led party chief Debbie Wasserman Schultz to announce her resignation.
