Kennedy, Grassley, Johnson seek DOJ, FBI records on Biden admin’s effort to spy on Congressional Republicans

WASHINGTON - Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.), a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, joined a letter led by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations Chairman Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) to the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) seeking all records related to the Biden administration's efforts to obtain the cell phone records of several Republican Members of Congress (MOC) in its Arctic Frost investigation.

"The Biden administration's blatant weaponization of the federal government should shock every American. . . . We request that the DOJ and FBI immediately produce all records in unredacted form referring or relating to the collection of the MOC's call logs as it relates to the Arctic Frost investigation," the lawmakers wrote.

"We expect both DOJ and FBI to take the necessary steps to provide complete transparency to Congress so that the Biden administration's targeting of sitting elected officials is thoroughly investigated and all wrongdoers are held fully accountable," they later added.

Sens. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), Katie Britt (R-Ala.), John Cornyn (R-Texas), Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.), Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), Mike Lee (R-Utah), Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.), Ashley Moody (R-Fla.), Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.), Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska), Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), and Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) also joined the letter, as did Rep. Mike Kelly (R-Pa.).
