HIJACKED REPUBLIC: Jack Smith Spied on Eight Republican Senators

They secretly, illegally wiretapped and spied on Trump, his associates, and now we learn — eight Republican Senators. They weren’t investigating crimes, they were targeting political enemies. This is grounds for arrest. It’s treason.

Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley responds:

This document shows the Biden FBI spied on 8 of my Republican Senate colleagues during its Arctic Frost investigation into “election conspiracy” Arctic Frost later became Jack Smith’s elector case against Trump. BIDEN FBI WEAPONIZATION = WORSE THAN WATERGATE (Grassley).

Senator Bill Hagerty points out that some of the folks named with him as subjects were on the 2016 Trump transition team and investigated by the Obama DoJ, so this is the second time the FBI has come after them. And, once again, every last victim of this underhanded, weaponized surveillance was a Republican and a sitting United States senator. All of them

A document, reviewed by Fox News Digital, revealed that Smith and his “Arctic Frost” team investigating Jan. 6 were allegedly tracking the phone calls of GOP Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, Josh Hawley of Missouri, Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming, Bill Hagerty of Tennessee, Dan Sullivan of Alaska, Tommy Tuberville of Alabama and GOP Rep. Mike Kelly of Pennsylvania (Fox News).

Jack Smith tracked private communications, calls of nearly a dozen GOP senators during J6 probe, FBI says

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino briefed GOP Sens. Lindsey Graham, Josh Hawley, Ron Johnson, Marsha Blackburn and more Monday

By Brooke Singman, Fox News, October 6, 2025:

Jack Smith’s federal Trump cases cost taxpayers more than $50 million

EXCLUSIVE: Former Special Counsel Jack Smith was allegedly tracking the private communications and phone calls of nearly a dozen Republican Senators as part of his investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riots, Fox News Digital has learned.

A document, reviewed by Fox News Digital, revealed that Smith and his “Arctic Frost” team investigating Jan. 6 were allegedly tracking the phone calls of GOP Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, Josh Hawley of Missouri, Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming, Bill Hagerty of Tennessee, Dan Sullivan of Alaska, Tommy Tuberville of Alabama and GOP Rep. Mike Kelly of Pennsylvania.

The document, recently discovered by FBI Director Kash Patel and exclusively obtained by Fox News Digital, is titled “CAST Assistance” and dated Sept. 27, 2023. “CAST” refers to the FBI’s cellular analysis survey team.

The document, which has the names of FBI agents involved redacted, marks the case ID as “ARCTIC FROST—Election Law Matters—SENSITIVE INVESTIGATIVE MATTER—CAST.”

A document, reviewed by Fox News Digital, revealed that Jack Smith and his “Arctic Frost” team investigating Jan. 6 were allegedly tracking the phone calls of GOP Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and others.

The document states the names of the lawmakers and that an FBI special agent on Smith’s team “conducted preliminary toll analysis” on the toll records associated with the lawmakers.

An FBI official told Fox News Digital that Smith and his team tracking the senators were able to see which phone numbers they called, the location the phone call originated and the location where it was received.

A source said the calls were likely in reference to the vote to certify the 2020 election.

An official said the records were collected in 2023 by Smith and his team after subpoenaing major telephone providers.

“Arctic Frost” was opened inside the bureau April 13, 2022. Smith was appointed as special counsel to take over the probe in November 2022.

Fox News Digital has learned that FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino is briefing those lawmakers on the discovery of Smith’s surveillance Monday afternoon on Capitol Hill.

A source said Bongino and FBI Director Patel felt it was important to brief the senators “as soon as possible” after the discovery of the record.

“It is a disgrace that I have to stand on Capitol Hill and reveal this — that the FBI was once weaponized to track the private communications of U.S. lawmakers for political purposes,” Bongino told Fox News Digital. “That era is over.”

Bongino added: “Under our leadership, the FBI will never again be used as a political weapon against the American people.”
