New Arctic Frost Files Detail 197 Subpoenas and Phone-Data Sweeps of GOP Figures

Republican investigators say the whistleblower disclosures warrant public questioning of Jack Smith.

Overview

  • The latest releases from Senate and House Republicans show nearly 197 subpoenas tied to Arctic Frost, seeking records from 34 individuals and 163 businesses connected to more than 400 Republican individuals and entities.
  • Documents indicate the probe examined more than 160 Republicans, including 45 close Trump associates and another 111 in his political orbit, alongside conservative groups such as Turning Point USA and the Conservative Partnership Institute.
  • Records show investigators obtained cellphone tolling metadata for eight Republican senators and one House member, with data stored in restricted FBI systems and described as call logs rather than content.
  • Internal materials describe nationwide field-office activity, requests for about $16,600 to fund more than 40 interviews in June 2022, service of subpoenas, and execution of device search warrants across multiple states.
  • Heavily redacted emails include an unverified tip portraying CPI’s Ed Corrigan in extreme terms, while Republicans characterize the overall effort as partisan and move to compel Jack Smith’s testimony, which he has said he prefers to give in a public forum.
