They appear to have been deleted after they were requested.
Also a DC officer that was in the SUV corroborated part of the Hutchinson story. And Engle has clarified that his pushback is only to “parts” of the SUV story, but he hasn’t said what parts. Ornato has declined to testify, again. Another person has come forward to say they heard a story substantially similar to the SUV story. It seems Ornato may have relayed this story to multiple people.
Everyone on the right so quickly claimed Hutchinson was lying but all the pushback is quickly falling apart.

the op on this thread is no better
as far as texts being deleted, it seems its the stuff of urban myth cum dimocrat wet dream
here's the story
Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi ......: “The insinuation that the Secret Service maliciously deleted text messages following a request is false. In fact, the Secret Service has been fully cooperating with the OIG in every respect — whether it be interviews, documents, emails, or texts.”
He said the Secret Service had started to reset its mobile devices to factory settings in January 2021 “as part of a pre-planned, three-month system migration.” In that process, some data was lost.
The inspector general has first requested the electronic communications on Feb. 26, “after the migration was well under way,” Guglielmi said.
“The Secret Service notified DHS OIG of the loss of certain phones’ data, but confirmed to OIG that none of the texts it was seeking had been lost in the migration,” he said.
The allegation that officials at the inspector general’s office were not given timely access to the material because of a review by Homeland Security attorneys had been raised by the inspector general before and is also not true, he said.
“DHS has repeatedly and publicly debunked this allegation, including in response to OIG’s last two semi-annual reports to Congress,” Guglielmi added.
