Overview
- Sen. Chuck Grassley released whistleblower-obtained records indicating Jack Smith’s team issued or sought 197 subpoenas to 34 individuals and 163 businesses seeking testimony, communications and broad financial data tied to at least 430 Republican individuals and entities.
- The House Judiciary Committee published nearly 200 heavily redacted pages showing the FBI’s Arctic Frost investigation touched more than 160 Republicans, including 45 close Trump associates and 111 others in his political network.
- Previously disclosed materials show investigators obtained cellphone tolling metadata—not call content—for eight GOP senators and one House member covering Jan. 4–7, 2021, with the records placed in restricted FBI files.
- Internal emails released by House investigators include unverified claims about Conservative Partnership Institute president Ed Corrigan, highlight requests for $16,600 for June 2022 travel to conduct 40-plus interviews and document use of field offices nationwide.
- Republicans allege partisan overreach and seek oversight, with Sen. Ted Cruz saying subpoenas targeted his Senate office line under secrecy orders, while Smith has requested a public hearing to address what he calls mischaracterizations of his investigations.
