Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) made public nearly 200 subpoenas issued by former Special Counsel Jack Smith and his team as part of their case against President Trump.
The 197 subpoenas, obtained by Grassley through whistleblower disclosures, were sent to 34 individuals and 163 businesses. The records also named at least 430 Republican individuals and entities.
Some of the entities named in the documents include CBS, Fox News, Fox Business, Newsmax, Sinclair, and others; communications with Stephen Miller, Jared Kushner, Lara Trump, and others, financial data surrounding conservative entities, and communications with “any member, employee or agent of the Legislative Branch of the U.S. Government.”
“Arctic Frost was the vehicle by which partisan FBI agents and DOJ prosecutors could improperly investigate the entire Republican political apparatus,” Grassley said during a press conference. “Contrary to what Smith has said publicly, this was clearly a fishing expedition.”
“If this happened to the Democrats, they’d be as rightly outraged as we are,” Grassley expressed. “We’re making these records public in the interest of transparency and so that the American people can draw their own conclusions.”
The materials expand upon documents released by the House Judiciary Committee, which revealed that Documents released by the committee reveal that 45 individuals, including former Trump White House adviser Steve Bannon, Republican Pennsylvania Rep. Scott Perry, former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, former Trump DOJ official Jeffrey Clark and former Trump attorney John Eastman were “potentially under investigation,” as part of the Arctic Frost Probe, as well as another 111 individuals, including trade adviser Peter Navarro, senior adviser Dan Scavino, former DOJ official Jeff Rosen, and DOJ weaponization czar Ed Martin.
