Senate Judiciary Committee holds press conference on the Committees ongoing oversight of 'Arctic Frost', - the Biden administration spying on Republicans./Jack Smith Subpoenaed Records for Over 400 Republican Targets.
WASHINGTON â Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) today made public 197 subpoenas former Special Counsel Jack Smith and his team issued as part of the indiscriminate election case against President Trump. Smithâs case began at the Biden Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) under the codename âArctic Frost.â
The subpoenas, which were provided to Grassley through legally protected whistleblower disclosures, were sent to 34 individuals and 163 businesses. These 197 subpoenas requested testimony, communications and records related to at least 430 named Republican individuals and entities. Some of the records Smith subpoenaed from banks, individuals and businesses included: Communications with media companies such as CBS, Fox News, Fox Business, Newsmax, Sinclair and others. Communications with âany member, employee or agent of the Legislative Branch of the U.S. Government.â Communications with White House advisors, such as Stephen Miller, Dan Scavino, Jared Kushner, Lara Trump and others. Statistical data and analysis relating to donors and fundraising efforts. Broad financial data relating to conservative individuals and entities. Grassley unveiled the subpoenas during a press conference alongside Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations Chairman Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) and members of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Grassley at todayâs press conference said, in part: âArctic Frost was the vehicle by which partisan FBI agents and DOJ prosecutors could improperly investigate the entire Republican political apparatus. Contrary to what [Jack] Smith has said publicly, this was clearly a fishing expedition. âIf this happened to the Democrats, theyâd be as rightly outraged as we are. âWeâre making these records public in the interest of transparency and so that the American people can draw their own conclusions.â A master list of the organizations and individuals Smith subpoenaed is available HERE, compiled by Senate Judiciary Committee staff.
