Grassley unveiled the subpoenas during a press conference alongside Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations Chairman Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) and members of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Grassley at today’s press conference said, in part:
“Arctic Frost was the vehicle by which partisan FBI agents and DOJ prosecutors could improperly investigate the entire Republican political apparatus. Contrary to what [Jack] Smith has said publicly, this was clearly a fishing expedition.
“If this happened to the Democrats, they’d be as rightly outraged as we are.
“We’re making these records public in the interest of transparency and so that the American people can draw their own conclusions.”
