Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.), Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska), Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.), Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.) and Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), as well as Rep. Mike Kelly (R-Pa.).\n\nEarlier this year, Grassley made public whistleblower records revealing the existence of the Arctic Frost investigation, which was opened and advanced by anti-Trump FBI Assistant Special Agent in Charge Timothy Thibault and other partisan officials. Grassley\u2019s oversight also exposed the Biden FBI for acquiring President Donald Trump\u2019s government cell phone before he was added as a subject of the investigation, and targeting nearly 100 Republican organizations and individuals as part of its sweeping Arctic Frost investigation. This morning, Grassley and Johnson led 16 bicameral colleagues in demanding the Department of Justice (DOJ) and FBI produce all records related to the Biden FBI\u2019s targeting of lawmakers.\n\nFollowing Grassley\u2019s calls for accountability, the FBI \u2013 led by Director Kash Patel \u2013 reviewed the allegations and dismantled CR-15, the Public Corruption Unit responsible for the investigation. Patel also fired agents, including those involved in the unacceptable privacy breach against Members of Congress.\n\nGrassley noted at a Judiciary Committee meeting yesterday morning:\n\n\u201cRest assured, this investigation is yielding results thanks to whistleblowers. I\u2019ve done four public document productions about Arctic Frost. Starting with the information that has been made public, it\u2019s exposed historic political misconduct to the American public. As a result, the FBI is investigating and has fired agents for misconduct. And the CR-15 unit at the Washington Field Office, which originated Arctic Frost, has been shut down. So, there\u2019s already been some accountability because of Director Patel, and I would expect more will come. My investigation is very active, and I\u2019ll have more to share this month.\u201d\n\nRead national coverage of Grassley\u2019s Arctic Frost oversight below:\n\nThe Wall Street Journal | The FBI, Senate Phone Records, and Jan. 6\n\nThe Associated Press | FBI analyzed phone records of senators as part of Trump Jan. 6 probe, lawmakers say\n\nNew York Post | Biden FBI spied on eight GOP senators, damning new doc claims: \u2018Arguably worse than Watergate\u2019\n\nFox News | FBI fires agents, dismantles corruption squad after probe unveils monitoring of GOP senators, Patel says\n\nCBS News | FBI analyzed some Republican lawmakers' phone records as part of Trump Jan. 6 probe, GOP senators say\n\nWashington Times | New document shows Biden\u2019s FBI spied on nine Republican members of Congress\n\nThe Hill | FBI analyzed lawmakers\u2019 phone records during Trump Jan. 6 probe, Republicans say\n\nNational Review | Kash Patel Says FBI Fired Agents, Dismantled Unit Behind Spying on GOP Senators\n\nRadio Iowa | Iowa | Grassley: FBI review of GOP senators\u2019 phone records is \u2018an outrage\u2019\n\nWSMV | Tennessee | TN senators among group of lawmakers who had phone records analyzed by FBI in Jan. 6 probe\n\nDeseret News | Utah | Sen.
