The troubling revelations from former Special Counsel Jack Smith’s Arctic Frost investigation continue to pile up, and the American people deserve answers. Every day it becomes clearer that this wasn’t a legitimate investigation – it was a massive and politically motivated fishing expedition. And backed by leading Republican U.S. senators, the ACLJ is beginning its pursuit of those answers.

We recently learned that Smith abused his prosecutorial power to spy on at least eight sitting U.S. senators and hundreds of prominent conservatives and groups. He unconstitutionally subpoenaed the phone records of these senators, including some of the most vocal defenders of liberty and due process in Washington, in the Arctic Frost investigation he took over from the FBI.

Take action with us and add your name to the petition: Hold Jack Smith and the Deep State Accountable. 

When the Executive branch spies on the Legislative branch, it not only threatens the constitutional separation of powers, but it also confirms that the Biden-Garland Justice Department was weaponizing the government and targeting political opponents under the guise of law enforcement. This is not oversight. It’s overreach.

That’s why the ACLJ is taking action. Backed by leading U.S. senators, the ACLJ is spearheading a historic effort to restore justice in America. We have just filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request demanding every record related to this surveillance campaign against the Legislative branch. What was collected? Who authorized it? And for what political purpose?

We’re not alone – those senators standing alongside the ACLJ include Lindsey Graham (SC), Ted Cruz (TX), Marsha Blackburn (TN), Cynthia Lummis (WY), Bill Hagerty (TN), and Tommy Tuberville (AL). They all have endorsed our FOIA demands and have asked us to share with them what we find. These duly elected representatives of the people are taking a stand and making it clear they will never be intimidated into silence.

ARCTIC FROST

We’re filing this FOIA on behalf of these six U.S. senators and our ACLJ members because the American people deserve the truth about the most politically corrupt spying operation in recent history. Those responsible for this unconstitutional attack on liberty must be held accountable.

At the ACLJ, we’ve seen what happens when unchecked power is allowed to fester. We fought and won FOIA battles against the Biden DOJ. Now, we’re going to do everything we can to help the Trump Administration, along with the Senate and House Judiciary Committees, expose what Jack Smith did during Arctic Frost.

If they can spy on sitting U.S. senators, they will spy on you. That’s why we’re taking legal action today.

We will expose the truth. We will work to hold any bad actors still at the DOJ accountable. And we will defend the rule of law. Add your voice, take action with us, and hold Jack Smith and the Deep State accountable.
