Senator John Kennedy (R-La.), a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, has joined Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and Senator Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), Chairman of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, in requesting records from the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The request concerns the Biden administration’s efforts to obtain cell phone records of several Republican Members of Congress as part of the Arctic Frost investigation.
In their letter, the lawmakers stated: “The Biden administration’s blatant weaponization of the federal government should shock every American. . . . We request that the DOJ and FBI immediately produce all records in unredacted form referring or relating to the collection of the MOC’s call logs as it relates to the Arctic Frost investigation.”
They further wrote: “We expect both DOJ and FBI to take the necessary steps to provide complete transparency to Congress so that the Biden administration’s targeting of sitting elected officials is thoroughly investigated and all wrongdoers are held fully accountable.”
Other senators who signed onto the letter include Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), Katie Britt (R-Ala.), John Cornyn (R-Texas), Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.), Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), Mike Lee (R-Utah), Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.), Ashley Moody (R-Fla.), Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.), Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska), Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), and Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.). Representative Mike Kelly (R-Pa.) also joined.
