Prominent influencers within President Trump’s MAGA movement have called for former special counsel Jack Smith to be arrested after the Republican-led Senate Judiciary Committee published documents indicating the FBI targeted the cell phones of eight GOP Senator’s as part of its ‘Arctic Frost’ investigation. This formed the basis of Smith’s special counsel investigation into Trump, which in turn led to criminal charges.
Smith’s team claimed Trump and key allies broke the law when attempting to overturn the 2020 presidential election result though charges were dropped after Trump won the 2024 presidential election in November.
Newsweek contacted the FBI and President Biden, via the Biden presidential library, for comment on Tuesday by email. Smith was also contacted via the Department of Justice and legal firm Covington & Burling, which did a significant amount of pro bono legal work for him.
