Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley on Tuesday revealed that former Special Counsel Jack Smith spied on 44 members of Congress and actually read their text messages.
It was previously reported that Jack Smith obtained “toll records” or ‘call logs’ of members of Congress.
In fact, Jack Smith said under oath that he did not read any text messages – but this is not true.
“I received records frm DOJ confirming Jack Smith’s investigative team reviewed the contents of text msgs sent by 44 MEMBERS OF CONGRESS Im 1 of the 44,” Grassley said on Tuesday.
“Im alerting my colleagues who were impacted and will release the records w Sen Johnson so American ppl can see the evidence,” Grassley added.

According to the documents released earlier this year, the FBI and DOJ weaponized their power to target President Trump, former Vice President Mike Pence, and their allies through a probe dubbed “Arctic Frost.”
“Operation Arctic Frost” was a taxpayer-funded witch hunt launched in April 2022 that seized government-issued cell phones belonging to Trump and Pence while conducting a barrage of interviews across the country.
The 2020 Trump alternate electors prompted the Biden DOJ to open the Arctic Frost investigation into Trump and hundreds of other individuals and organizations.
“Jack Smith’s criminal investigation of President Trump was a runaway train that had no brakes,” Grassley said Tuesday.
“Based on the information that’s been produced to me and Senator Johnson, Biden DOJ and FBI investigators apparently ignored their own routine investigative protocols to obtain and review work-related messages from me and dozens of my Republican and Democrat colleagues who were outside the scope of the government’s investigation,” he said.
“I hope my Democrat colleagues, several of whom had their own texts swept up, finally put partisanship aside and recognize the severity of these actions. Smith’s team ran roughshod over the Constitution even after repeated warnings,” Grassley added.
“Jack Smith has answering to do, and I intend to have him before the Senate Judiciary Committee in the coming months to hold him accountable,” Grassley said.
Jack Smith sat down for a deposition last December. Members of Congress asked him questions about his Arctic Frost investigation under oath.
Jack Smith lied under oath when asked if the records he requested included the contents of calls and texts.
“Did the toll records that you requested from the Senators – did they include the content of the phone calls” the congressional investigator asked Jack Smith.
“No,” Jack Smith said.
“Did the records that you requested – the toll records from the members of Congress include the content of text messages?” the investigator asked.
“No,” Jack Smith said.
