Jack Smith’s Team Got Texts of Dozens of Reporters, Bank Info From Thousands of Americans: Grassley
Grassley said whistleblower records showed 4,782 donor checks were subpoenaed, and Smith said the records were needed for a criminal investigation.
- On Tuesday, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley criticized former special counsel Jack Smith during a hearing, accusing him of weaponizing his office during investigations into President Donald Trump.
- Grassley alleged that Smith's "Arctic Frost" investigation obtained checks from at least 4,782 Americans across all 50 states and Puerto Rico, granting the Justice Department and FBI access to private bank account and routing numbers.
- Smith reportedly sought phone toll records for 16 members of Congress, naming 87 Trump White House phones in subpoenas that Grassley stated breached the Constitution's Speech or Debate Clause involving "44 members, to be exact."
- Defending his actions, Smith testified he had "a duty to collect facts" during criminal investigations into serious crimes, confirming he obtained financial information while unable to recite every subpoena issued.
- Critics including Cunningham challenged Grassley's narrative, arguing that lawful collection of criminal evidence involving Congress members has followed established procedures for at least 35 years, with grand juries authorizing such investigations.
