WASHINGTON – This week U.S. Senators Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina), Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Ron Johnson (R-Wisconsin) sent a letter with 15 of their colleagues to Attorney General Pam Bondi and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Kash Patel requesting information about the Biden administration’s collection of call logs from sitting Members of Congress. 

This request follows an Oct. 6, 2025 briefing where FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino informed several senators that over the course of Jack Smith’s elector case against President Trump – known as Arctic Frost – the FBI collected and analyzed call logs from at least nine Members of Congress between Jan. 4, 2021 – Jan. 7, 2021. The image below shows part of the document that Deputy Director Bongino provided the senators during the briefing listing the elected officials that Jack Smith targeted. 

“The Biden administration’s blatant weaponization of the federal government should shock every American,” the Members wrote.

The letter instructs the Department of Justice (DOJ) and FBI to turn over all records referring or relating to the collection and analysis of the call logs, including DOJ and FBI communications with personnel from the Biden White House. If these materials are subject to grand jury secrecy rules – the Members requested DOJ immediately seek judicial authorization to release the requested records.

“Given that these materials relate to an unprecedented collection of records and information on sitting MOCs and raise serious constitutional concerns, Congress’ need for these records clearly outweighs any interest in secrecy,” the Members noted. 

The letter was signed by all Members of Congress known to have been targeted as part of Arctic Frost: Graham, Johnson and U.S. Senators Marsha Blackburn (R-Tennessee), Bill Hagerty (R-Tennessee), Josh Hawley (R-Missouri), Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyoming), Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska), Tommy Tuberville (R-Alabama) and Rep. Mike Kelly (R-Pennsylvania). It was also signed by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Grassley and Judiciary Committee Members U.S. Senators John Cornyn (R-Texas), Mike Lee (R-Utah), Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Thom Tillis (R-North Carolina), John Kennedy (R-Louisiana), Eric Schmitt (R-Missouri), Katie Britt (R-Alabama) and Ashley Moody (R-Florida).
