Justice Dept. Secretly Collected Jordan's Phone Records

Justice Department secretly collected personal phone records from House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan for over two years, raising concerns among Republicans about political targeting. This was part of Arctic Frost, a probe that later became Special Counsel Jack Smiths case against former President Donald Trump. The Biden Justice Department also obtained phone records from more than a dozen sitting Republican lawmakers, including eight senators. Evidence of political targeting mounts as Smiths team refuses to fully cooperate with congressional oversight. The FBI obtained data detailing call durations, locations, and timestamps of multiple Republican senators, and subpoenaed bank and communications data from conservative organizations. The House voted to repeal a provision that would have allowed senators to sue the federal government for up to five hundred thousand dollars per incident if their data was accessed without notification, triggering bipartisan backlash.
