Overview
- Nearly 200 pages published by the House Judiciary Committee list 45 close Trump associates and another 111 allies as potentially under investigation during the FBI’s Arctic Frost inquiry.
- A memo disclosed last week shows Merrick Garland, Lisa Monaco, and Christopher Wray authorized the probe in April 2022 before it was transferred to Special Counsel Jack Smith that November.
- Internal emails describe nationwide field‑office involvement, plans for more than 40 interviews, subpoenas and multiple device search warrants, and a June 2022 travel request of about $16,600.
- Senate disclosures say investigators obtained tolling data for eight Republican senators and one House Republican covering Jan. 4–7, 2021, capturing call metadata but not content and stored in restricted files.
- The records are heavily redacted and include unverified allegations about conservative figures; Republicans seek Smith’s testimony, and he has asked to appear in public, with Senate Republicans set to brief reporters today.
