Former President Joe Biden’s FBI looked into many conservative groups, like the late
Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA, as part of a large investigation called “Arctic Frost.”
Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) told the Senate Judiciary Committee on
Tuesday that operation “Arctic Frost” had become bigger and that whistleblowers had come forward with additional information.
Grassley noted that the operation, which was first set up to look into the campaign to
overturn the 2020 election, had grown to include many conservative groups, the Republican National Committee, and others.
He also said that at least one FBI agent had been very happy when they found out that
Trump aide Peter Navarro had been charged with contempt of Congress.
“Arctic Frost was the FBI case opened and approved by anti-Trump FBI agent [Timothy] Thibault.
Arctic Frost then became Jack Smith’s elector case against citizen Trump, and now President Trump.
These new records show that Arctic Frost was much broader than just an electoral matter,” Grassley said.
“The case was expanded to Republican organizations. Some examples of the group[s] that
[Christopher] Wray’s FBI sought to place under political investigation included the Republican National Committee,
Republican Attorney General’s Association [sic], and various Trump political groups.
In total, 92 Republican targets, including Republican groups and Republican-linked individuals,
were placed under investigative scope of Arctic Frost. On that political list was one of Charlie Kirk’s groups,
Turning Point USA. In other words, Arctic Frost wasn’t just a case to politically investigate Trump,” Grassley added.
