“WhatsApp messages had been deleted after the initiation of the Grand Jury investigation,” the outlet reported.
Lina Hidalgo told Fox 26 Houston that she hadn’t used the encrypted app ‘Signal’ for official county business.
The outlet pressed Hidalgo and asked if she used the encrypted app ‘WhatsApp’ to communicate with her now-indicted chief of staff about the $11 million no-bid contract. Hidalgo obfuscated and said she already answered the question, referring to her May 2022 statement admitting she indeed used the encrypted app.
