New revelations have shed light on the extensive investigation known as Arctic Frost, which focused on the alleged plot to overturn the 2020 presidential election. According to documents released by the Republican-controlled House Judiciary Committee, the Biden-era Federal Bureau of Investigation reportedly maintained a list of 160 Republican associates under investigation.
“This ought to be a chilling message to each and every American who loves this great country and believes in our constitutional system and equal justice under the law,” said Republican Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin during a media briefing on Wednesday. Johnson also revealed that the new documents were obtained through a whistleblower rather than directly from the FBI.
President Donald Trump and his allies have accused the previous administration of politically motivated efforts to imprison Trump officials under the guise of the Arctic Frost investigation. A social media post from the House Judiciary Committee stated, “New Arctic Frost documents reveal even further wide-ranging investigation by Biden’s DOJ to take down President Trump and his supporters.”
The investigation aimed to uncover evidence that Trump allies “conspired to corruptly obstruct the United States Congress’ certification of the 2020 Presidential election results by submitting allegedly fraudulent elector certificates.” Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) shared more than 1,700 pages of documents related to the probe.
In response to the revelations, Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas took to social media to highlight further concerns. “Sen. Chuck Grassley just revealed that Jack Smith sent a subpoena to Verizon to tap my Senate office phone,” Cruz posted on Wednesday afternoon. “This comes after learning that nearly 20% of Senate Republicans’ cellphones, including mine, were also subpoenaed. Arctic Frost is the Biden DOJ’s Watergate, and they need to be held accountable.”
The investigation targeted several notable figures, including White House Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino, senior trade counselor Peter Navarro, and the chief operating officer at Turning Point USA, the organization founded by Charlie Kirk.
As the political landscape continues to respond to these disclosures, calls for transparency and accountability surrounding the Arctic Frost investigation are growing louder among Republican leadership and supporters.
