Excerpts follow.\n\nVIDEO\n\nOn the Arctic Frost Investigation and the FBI\u2019s Surveillance of Republican Senators:\n\n\u201cI first found out about [the targeting of Republican senators] last Thursday, and arranged a meeting for my colleagues, eight of them, to be briefed by the FBI [yesterday]. They were totally shocked that Jack Smith, at the time that he was prosecuting Trump \u2026 solicited the phone numbers and who they talked to from these eight senators.\n\n\u201cIt\u2019s a violation of privacy. We\u2019re getting the FBI to get us further information. They said they\u2019d give us more information by the end of the week. Then I'll have to decide what I'm going to do. I think I have a reputation for following the facts where they lead us and getting to a conclusion.\n\n\u201cInformation [on the Arctic Frost investigation] was given to us by a whistleblower. So, it just shows you how important it is [for] people [in] lower levels in the FBI to squeal on people that were violating the law and breaking all FBI rules to get this information.\n\n\u2026\n\n\u201cYou can be certain that, with Chuck Grassley\u2019s reputation of following the facts where they lead us, we\u2019re not going to leave a stone unturned.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:32:54Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.grassley.senate.gov/news/news-releases/icymi-grassley-joins-america-reports-to-recap-arctic-frost-oversight-and-biden-fbis-targeting-of-republican-senators"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9764991700649261, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
