The subpoenas referenced in the NARA OIG records appear to have been served prior to Special Counsel Jack Smith\u2019s takeover of Arctic Frost. Verizon, AT&T, and Lumen have yet to produce subpoenas during the time frame referenced in the NARA OIG records.\n\nThrough whistleblower disclosures, Chairmen Johnson and Grassley have revealed that over 400 Republican organizations and individuals were targeted as part of \u201cArctic Frost,\u201d and phone records for at least 13 Members of Congress were subpoenaed, including Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) (the newest addition).\n\nThe chairmen also sent letters to Southern First Bank, Microsoft, TDS Telecommunications, and six web platforms and social media companies to determine whether they were also recipients of subpoenas issued by either Smith or the Biden DOJ before Smith became Special Counsel.\n\nA list of the senators\u2019 latest Arctic Frost letters is below:\n\nAT&T\n\nLumen\n\nVerizon\n\nMicrosoft\n\nSouthern First Bank\n\nTDS Telecommunications\n\nAlphabet Inc.\n\nApple Inc.\n\nMeta Platforms, Inc.\n\nSnap Inc.\n\nX Corp.\n\nYahoo, Inc.\n\nLearn more about Sen.
