Trump & Vance phones may have been hacked by Chinese. Trump is well known to use non approved devices to avoid creating a record?

Chinese hackers who are believed to have burrowed deep into US communications networks targeted data from phones used by both men.

Investigators are working to determine what communications data, if any, was taken or observed by the sophisticated penetration of telecom systems, according to anonymous sources in this active & highly sensitive national security case.

The type of information on phones used by POTUS/VPOTUS could be a gold mine for the Chinese: Who they called & texted, how often they communicated w/ certain people, & how long they talked to those people could be highly valuable to an adversary like China. That sort of communications data could be even more useful if hackers could observe it in real time. It's was unclear whether the hackers could have gained access to unencrypted texts.

Mr. Trump’s team has also been targeted by Iranian hackers, who have repeatedly targeted his inner circle w/ spearphishing emails that were partly successful in gaining access to his campaign’s communications & documents.

The investigation into the extent of the hacking a/& any national security damage is in its early stages. Whether such an attack could monitor or record phone conversations is difficult to know, & whether the hackers could read or intercept texts, for example, would depend on which messaging apps the targets used & how that data moved over Verizon's systems.

The WSJ reported last month that a cyberattack linked to the Chinese government had infiltrated some US broadband providers’ networks & might have been able to get information from systems used by the federal government in FISA court wiretap efforts.

Revoke his TOP SECRET security clearance he only got b/c he was POTUS!
This is on Biden & his NSA!
This is on Kacklin' Kamala & only her!
This is the Deep State at work! CLEAN HOUSE: P2025!
Blame later! This requires a HUGE but secret response from POTUS & Congress! NOW!
Play the long game like China does! Be strategic, be patient!
