Feds seized Trump's official phone from first term during Arctic Frost
Attorney General Pam Bondi said on Tuesday that the Biden DOJ seized President Donald Trump's official cell phone from his first term and subpoenaed personal call logs during the Arctic Frost investigation into the 2020 post-election period.
“During the Arctic Frost Investigation, we found that Special Counsel [Jack Smith] seized President Trump’s government-issued phone,” Bondi revealed in an X post.
“This means the Biden Administration turned over President Trump’s phone to Special Counsel — an UNPRECEDENTED action.”
“In addition,” she added, “Special Counsel subpoenaed all of President Trump’s PERSONAL phone records. We can never again allow this kind of government weaponization in America.”
Jack Smith
It is not known which phone company was subpoenaed or whether the company complied with the subpoena.
Special Counsel Jack Smith prosecuted Trump on two separate criminal indictments, one of which had to do with the 2020 election and Trump's response.
He apparently never revealed to opposing counsel that he had accessed Trump's phone and records, since it is a new announcement now.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said that the revelation was “further evidence of the egregious overreach and weaponization of government that took place under the previous White House.”
“It was a clear effort by the Biden White House and the Biden DOJ to go after the president,” Leavitt said in response to a question by the New York Post.
Even more
The revelation comes after it was revealed earlier this month that nine senators snd a House member also had their records subpoenaed for the purpose of trying to figure out Trump's actions between the 2020 presidential election and the Jan, 6, 2021, Capitol breach, which disrupted the certification of the election for a few hours (though it is still unclear whether that was the purpose behind it).
“This is way bigger than Watergate,” Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) said Tuesday during a press conference with Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA).
Johnson warned that other members of Congress may also have been unveiled.
“The subpoenas we are getting right now are just phone numbers. I call Rick Scott a fair amount, so I recognized his phone number,” Johnson explained to reporters.
“Right now we’re trying to track down the phone numbers of the additional subpoenas we received yesterday — so stay tuned, there will be more announcements made.”
