Grassley Demands Telecommunications Companies, Federal Entities Turn Over All Records Provided to Jack Smith

WASHINGTON – As part of his ongoing Arctic Frost oversight, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) sent letters to four telecommunications companies and five federal entities requesting they provide to Congress all records that were handed over to former Special Counsel Jack Smith as part of his elector case against President Trump. Smith’s case began at the Biden Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) under the codename “Arctic Frost.”

Grassley’s oversight recently revealed Smith and the Biden FBI secretly subpoenaed phone records from nine Republican Members of Congress, as well as records from 92 other Republican targets, as part of the partisan Arctic Frost probe. Grassley last week led his colleagues in requesting the Department of Justice and FBI provide all records related to the targeting of congressional members during Arctic Frost.

Grassley sent letters to the following telecommunications companies:

  1. Verizon
  2. AT&T
  3. T-Mobile
  4. Lumen

Sens. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.), Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.), Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska), Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.), John Cornyn (R-Texas), Mike Lee (R-Utah), Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), John Kennedy (R-La.), Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.), Katie Britt (R-Ala.) and Ashley Moody (R-Fla.), as well as Rep. Mike Kelly (R-Pa.), co-signed the letters.

Additionally, Grassley and Johnson sent letters to the following federal entities:

  1. Department of Homeland Security
  2. Department of Defense
  3. Office of the Director of National Intelligence
