House Judiciary Reveals FBI Investigated Over 160 Republicans in Arctic Frost Probe

The House Judiciary Committee revealed that the Biden-era Department of Justice and FBI conducted a broad investigation called Arctic Frost, targeting over 160 Republicans, including close allies of President Trump. The probe began under FBI Director Christopher Wray and was later overseen by Special Counsel Jack Smith under Attorney General Merrick Garland, focusing on alleged actions surrounding the 2020 election and the January 6 Capitol riot. Key figures potentially investigated include Steve Bannon, Scott Perry, Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, Dan Scavino, Peter Navarro, and Ed Martin. Documents show the FBI conducted extensive interviews and issued subpoenas across multiple states, with approvals for the investigation coming from top DOJ and FBI officials. The scope and political implications of the investigation have led GOP lawmakers, including Rep. Jim Jordan, to demand answers from Jack Smith regarding potential political motivations and surveillance of Republican members of Congress. The committee also cited coordination between the Biden White House Counsel’s Office and an anti-Trump FBI agent in handling materials related to the probe.
