Senate Chair: Massive Amount of Republican Voter and Donor Data Violated in Biden DOJ Probe

Chuck Grassley claims the Justice Department under President Joe Biden gathered aggressive information on more than 639,000 Republican voters and donors through Arctic Frost.

The memo is part of an update on Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley and his investigation into former special counsel Jack Smith and his Arctic investigation launched by the Biden Department of Justice (DOJ) in 2022 to investigate efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.

Grassley has been in the North Pole since last year, releasing revealing reports on the investigation that led to Smith's testimony before the Judiciary Committee last month.

An explosive new report puts Jack Smith back on the hot seat as Jim Jordan claims he's trying to "change" the 2024 election.

The latest update shows that Special Counsel Smith's office and the Department of Justice have "obtained spreadsheets containing Republican campaign donors, supporters, and voter personal information in various formats, at least on more than 639,000 people," Grassley said in the memo.

He continued: Of this number, more than 148,000 rows have been identified as donors in the spreadsheets. Donors generally contributed small amounts.

Data collected from voters and donors included names, dates of birth, physical addresses, emails, registrants' Republican affiliation, occupation and place of employment - examples on the list included retirees, pool technicians, drivers, loggers, etc. - credit card information, donor analytics data, and donation amounts and other details.

The memo follows an earlier release from Grassley that revealed Tim Smith collected checks from nearly 5,000 Americans across the country who donated to Trump and Trump-aligned Republican entities.

"This update shows that Jack Smith and the Biden Department of Justice have collected very aggressive donor data — and voter data — beyond what could have been necessary for him or his team to carry out [the special counsel's] mission," Grassley said.

"This update further confirms that Smith and his caucus team intended to draw the entire GOP establishment," he continued. "I again urge my Democratic colleagues to join my oversight work instead of trying to defend Smith and his abuse of power."

Grassley noted that during Smith's hearing last month, he pressed the former special counsel for a "yes or no" answer on whether his investigation collected data on donors.

Yes, said Smith. "We obtained financial information. As I'm sitting here right now, I can't read you every subpoena that we issue. I can tell you why we issued a subpoena. And that was to conduct a criminal investigation into one of the most serious crimes that has ever occurred in the history of our country. I was tasked with gathering the facts."
