WhatsApp text exchange in 2017 between Hunter and his Chinese counterpart where Hunter allegedly invokes his father.
Aren't WhatsApp text messages incrypted end-to-end? If so, how would an alleged WhatsApp text exchange come into IRS hands?
From my understanding, it is a factual impossibility.
Mr. Shapley said that investigators had received the WhatsApp message in response to a search warrant. But the message was not among those that Mr. Biden’s lawyers handed over to federal prosecutors in response to grand jury subpoenas during the lengthy investigation run by the Justice Department with help from the I.R.S., according to a person familiar with the matter, nor was the message one that prosecutors pressed Mr. Biden’s lawyers to explain.
It was also not among the trove of messages that have surfaced from a laptop Mr. Biden left at a repair shop in Delaware and was later made available to journalists.
The WhatsApp message was among a batch of documents released by the Ways and Means Committee along with the transcripts of interviews with Mr. Shapley and a second I.R.S. investigator whose name was redacted.
