Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee Chuck GrasleyR-Iowa revealed Tuesday that the FBI investigation into President Donald Trump was launched in 2022 and swept dozens of Republican entities, including the turning point of the late Charlie Kirk in the United States.
Grassley said in a hearing focusing on the FBI’s oversight that the bureau called “Arctic Frost” investigation was partisan in nature and its broad scope was evidence.
“In other words, Arctic Frost is not just a political investigation of Trump’s case,” Grassley said. “It’s a tool for partisan FBI agents and Justice Department prosecutors to achieve their partisan goals and not to investigate the entire Republican political institution.”

“For years, deep states, including the FBI, unelected Biden bureaucrats (including the FBI) have targeted Republican ags and many other close friends because we are allies of Donald Trump,” Raga executive director Adam Piper said in a statement to Fox News Digital. “The Biden administration has calmed down the rule of law, granted permission to no legal liberals, and did everything possible to succumb to any opposition. Republicans will work to hold these bad actors accountable and help President Trump restore the objectivity of our federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies.”
