It was discovered that Hunter Biden used about 16 private messaging apps, many of them highly encrypted, which could contain his most sensitive business and personal correspondence.
“We know he downloaded the app Wickr. The app downloaded 226 times from his iCloud account from 2012 onward,” said a source familiar with the research. “I think that’s where you’re going to find the Joe Biden conversations.”
“There is no trace of Wickr on the iPhone or the laptop, which means he was very secure with it,” the source added.
Wickr is a favorite among the US armed forced and has contracted with the US Army, Navy, Marines, and Air Force to provide encrypted messaging services.
The company was purchased by Amazon in 2021.
Hunter Biden also used Signal and the Chinese messaging app WeChat.
“We’re now beginning to bring in witnesses to question them about the existence of other documents, communications, and records that we will seek to obtain. We will leave no stone unturned as we seek to provide the transparency and accountability that the American people demand and deserve,” said House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer.
