Senators Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson have uncovered documents revealing the FBI’s “Operation Arctic Frost,” a politically motivated probe targeting Donald Trump and Mike Pence. The investigation, led by anti-Trump FBI agent Timothy Thibault, involved seizing government-issued phones without warrants, conducting sweeping interviews, and fabricating justifications to build a case against Trump and his allies. The senators allege widespread abuse of power and demand accountability for the DOJ and FBI’s actions. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/03/breaking-chuck-grassley-ron-johnson-expose-deep-state/ BREAKING: Chuck Grassley, Ron Johnson Expose Deep State Witch Hunt — New Records Confirm Corrupt FBI Seized Trump, Pence Government Cell Phones and Conducted Sweeping Interviews to Push Bogus ‘Arctic Frost’ Probe Senators Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Ron Johnson (R-WI) have blown the lid off yet another sham investigation orchestrated by Biden’s corrupt Department of Justice (DOJ) and the politically compromised FBI. According to newly uncovered documents, the agencies weaponized their power to target President Donald Trump, former Vice President Mike Pence, and their allies through an illegitimate probe dubbed “Arctic Frost.” Armed with whistleblower disclosures and damning internal documents, the senators are sounding the alarm over “Operation Arctic Frost,” a taxpayer-funded witch hunt that seized government-issued cell phones belonging to former President Donald Trump and former Vice President Mike Pence while conducting a sweeping barrage of interviews across the country. The FBI did not require a warrant to take possession of government phones from the Biden White House. However, after securing the devices, agents began preparing a search warrant to access their data, sources familiar with the investigation told Fox News. “The Biden White House played right along with the FBI’s ‘gotcha’ scheme against Trump,” the source told Fox News. “Biden’s Office of White House Counsel, under the leadership of Dana Remus and Jonathan Su, gave its blessing and accommodation for the FBI to physically obtain Trump and Pence’s phones in early May 2022. Weeks later, the FBI began drafting a search warrant to extract the phones’ data.” In a fiery letter dated March 13, 2025, addressed to Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel, Grassley and Johnson pulled no punches. They allege that Arctic Frost, launched in April 2022 under the Biden administration, was a blatant abuse of power spearheaded by anti-Trump FBI Assistant Special Agent in Charge (ASAC) Timothy Thibault. The senators claim Thibault violated FBI protocols—specifically the “No Self-Approval Rule”—to kickstart the investigation, which later morphed into Special Counsel Jack Smith’s baseless elector case against Trump, relying on fabricated justifications, including the absurd claim that Trump and his associates had engaged in “fraudulent” activities related to the 2020 election. The whistleblower documents detail how the FBI aggressively pursued over 50 subpoenas, secretly gathered records from more than 100 different facilities and email accounts, and conducted a second wave of interviews across multiple states in their desperate attempt to manufacture a case against Trump and his allies. But perhaps the most damning revelation is that the DOJ and FBI took possession of government-issued cell phones that previously belonged to Trump and Pence—devices that were apparently retrieved from White House personnel. These phones, which could contain sensitive presidential communications, were seized before any search warrants were even obtained. In other words, the FBI was fishing for dirt first and worried about legality later.
