China hacked the devices of Donald Trump’s family ahead of the election, authorities believe.
An investigation was launched two weeks ago into how China-linked hackers accessed communications data from the personal phones of Trump and JD Vance, The New York Times reported.
Now, the scope of the investigation has been widened after it emerged that the former president’s son, Eric Trump, and his son-in-law Jared Kushner, were also targeted.

Trump’s campaign has not directly addressed the reported hacks against the presidential nominee and his running mate. »
