Overview

• At a Sept. 16 Senate Judiciary hearing, Sen. Chuck Grassley unveiled whistleblower subpoena logs from the Arctic Frost investigation opened in April 2022.
• One subpoena to Event Strategies, the Jan. 6 rally organizer, named Turning Point USA among targets on a “J 6$” financial thread alongside groups such as Save America and the Republican Attorneys General Association.
• Snopes reviewed the documents and confirmed Turning Point USA’s inclusion while noting that subpoena listings reflect investigative queries rather than findings of wrongdoing.
• The probe was coordinated by the FBI and DOJ, with Special Counsel Jack Smith assigned in November 2022 after which he brought and later dropped separate charges affected by a 2024 Supreme Court immunity ruling.
• Republican lawmakers argue the records show partisan overreach into the broader GOP ecosystem, and news coverage has intensified, but no new criminal actions tied to these specific subpoenas have been reported.
