Grassley, Johnson Reveal FBI Seized Trump, Pence Cellphones in Arctic Frost Probe

Senators Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson have raised allegations against the Biden administration over an investigation dubbed 'Operation Arctic Frost,' which they claim targeted former President Donald Trump and former Vice President Mike Pence. Newly uncovered documents suggest the FBI seized their government-issued cell phones without a warrant, later drafting a search warrant to access the data. Grassley and Johnson argue that the Biden White House facilitated this action, claiming it was a political maneuver orchestrated by anti-Trump elements within the FBI, specifically citing former agent Timothy Thibault's alleged violation of protocols. They contend that this investigation lacked sufficient predication and was part of a broader effort to undermine Trump. Additionally, the senators have called for public accountability regarding the actions of the DOJ and FBI during this probe. The revelations have sparked a renewed debate over the integrity of federal investigations and their implications for political figures.
