Senate Republicans release documents showing Jack Smith's team subpoenaed phone records for Kash Patel and Republican lawmakers
Documents released by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley show that special counsel Jack Smith's team sought nearly two years of phone records for now-FBI Director Kash Patel when he was a private citizen, along with records for multiple Republican lawmakers. The subpoenas, part of the 'Arctic Frost' investigation, covered call logs, text metadata, and personal information from late 2020 through early 2023. Internal records indicate Smith's team considered subpoenaing more than a dozen Republican lawmakers, with at least 84 subpoenas issued during the investigation.
