Former Special Counsel Jack Smith was allegedly tracking the private communications and phone calls of nearly a dozen Republican Senators as part of his investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riots, Fox News Digital has learned.
A document, reviewed by Fox News Digital, revealed that Smith and his “Arctic Frost” team investigating Jan. 6 were allegedly tracking the phone calls of GOP Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, Josh Hawley of Missouri, Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming, Bill Hagerty of Tennessee, Dan Sullivan of Alaska, Tommy Tuberville of Alabama and GOP Rep. Mike Kelly of Pennsylvania.
The document, recently discovered by FBI Director Kash Patel and exclusively obtained by Fox News Digital, is titled “CAST Assistance” and dated Sept. 27, 2023. “CAST” refers to the FBI’s cellular analysis survey team.
The document, which has the names of FBI agents involved redacted, marks the case ID as “ARCTIC FROST—Election Law Matters—SENSITIVE INVESTIGATIVE MATTER—CAST.”
The document states the names of the lawmakers and that an FBI special agent on Smith’s team “conducted preliminary toll analysis” on the toll records associated with the lawmakers.
An FBI official told Fox News Digital that Smith and his team tracking the senators were able to see which phone numbers they called, the location the phone call originated and the location where it was received. (Read more: Fox News, 10/6/2025) (Archive)

Jack Smith was part of the lawfare squad that was led by Norm Eisen, Andrew Weissman, and Mary McCord.
The lawfare squad were also Russia collusion criminals.
Norm should have already been indicted. https://t.co/0f8oazXpyE

The Biden FBI’s Arctic Frost probe wasn’t just an attack on Trump—it was a systemic assault on the entire GOP. Targeting senators like Hawley, Blackburn, and Graham proves D.C.’s deep state weaponized intel to criminalize political dissent. Spying on elected officials over…

UPDATE 10/8/2025
They weren’t just targeting and spying on Trump. They had a whole laundry list, and Jack was listening in on calls. It’s unbelievable that this is happening in the United States of America.
JACK SMITH CAUGHT SPYING ON GOP SENATORS’ PHONE CALLS
FBI documents reveal Smith’s “Arctic Frost” team tracked private communications of Graham, Blackburn, Hawley, and 8 other Republican senators.
They monitored who they called and their locations.
Dan Bongino (FBI Deputy Director):
“It is a disgrace… that the FBI was once weaponized to track the private communications of U.S. lawmakers”
Smith spent $50 million taxpayer dollars surveilling senators who questioned the 2020 election.
This proves the surveillance state wasn’t just for Trump.

(…) This next piece is where the story really heats up. Investigative reporter Paul Sperry confirms via his FBI sources that the “Three Stooges”—former FBI Director Christopher Wray, former Special Counsel Jack Smith, and former Attorney General Merrick Garland—had to personally sign off on this unprecedented surveillance of GOP senators. Why, you ask? Well, because when an investigation involves elected officials, it’s classified as a “SIM” case, which means “Sensitive Investigative Matter,” and that requires the highest level of approval inside the DOJ and FBI.
NEW: FBI sources say Christopher Wray had to sign off on the spying on GOP senators, along with Biden’s AG Garland, since any investigation involving elected officials is a SIM case requiring their approval. Also a 1-page predication is “extremely rare” esp since targets senators
