Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley on Wednesday released records from an FBI-DOJ investigation code-named Arctic Frost, including 197 subpoenas. The Biden-era probe, which Grassley says later fed Special Counsel Jack Smith’s election case, sought information related to more than 400 Republican-aligned people and entities. Republican critics, including Sens. Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham, likened the effort to a political enemies list and compared it to Watergate.

The Campaign Legal Center has also filed a complaint urging an internal DOJ investigation.

They claim he held substantial crypto assets when he issued orders halting investigations, potentially violating federal ethics rules. The criticism follows a ProPublica report revealing his financial holdings worth at least $159,000.
