Overview

  • In a late-night post, President Trump urged prosecutors to charge Merrick Garland, Christopher Wray, Jack Smith and Lisa Monaco over the FBI’s Arctic Frost investigation.
  • Senate Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley released an April 4, 2022 memo indicating Garland, Wray and Monaco approved opening Arctic Frost.
  • The committee said the FBI in 2023 obtained toll records for about eight Republican senators and one House Republican, limited to who called whom, when and for how long.
  • Trump claimed officials “taped” lawmakers’ calls and “rigged” the 2020 election, assertions contradicted by disclosures showing no call content was collected and lacking evidence.
  • DOJ declined comment as Smith’s attorneys defended his actions as lawful, and Republicans escalated oversight while pointing to what they call a broader pattern of weaponization, with recent indictments of Trump antagonists James Comey and Letitia James noted in coverage.
