What was Arctic Frost?
Arctic Frost is a joint investigation between the FBI, DOJ Office of Inspector General (OIG), U.S. Postal Inspection Service, and National Archives and Records Administration (OIG). The case was opened in April 2022 and Special Counsel Jack Smith was assigned to take charge in November 2022. Senator Grassley highlighted he made public records that whistleblowers provided me about Arctic Frost.
The report finds Arctic Frost was the FBI case opened and approved by anti-Trump FBI agent Thibault. Arctic Frost became Jack Smith’s elector case. These new records show that Arctic Frost was much broader than just an electoral matter. The case was expanded to Republican organizations.
"Some examples of the groups the Wray FBI sought to place under political investigation included the Republican National Committee, Republican Attorneys General Association and Trump political groups. In total, 92 Republican targets, including Republican groups and Republican-linked individuals, were placed under the investigative scope of Arctic Frost," the senator said
