Rep. Jim Jordan has revealed that his phone records were seized as part of the Biden DOJ’s investigation into former President Donald Trump, shedding light on the scope of Operation Arctic Frost. The Ohio Republican shared the discovery on social media, stating, “Now, we just learned, they spied on me.” The subpoena, obtained by Fox News Digital, included records from Verizon spanning two-and-a-half years, targeting Jordan’s phone data dating back to January 1, 2020.
The request, issued during a time when Jordan was serving as the top Republican on the Judiciary Committee, highlights the expansive nature of the Arctic Frost probe. The subpoena sought toll records, which included details about when calls and messages were sent and received, but not the contents of Jordan’s communications. It also included a one-year gag order signed by a D.C. magistrate judge.
Jordan spoke further with Fox News’ Sean Hannity, expressing shock at the scale of the surveillance: “We know they spied on President Trump, then we learned it was Senators, then the Speaker of the House, and now we’ve learned they were spying on me for two and a half years, all the way back to January 2020.” He described the actions as “the epitome of the weaponization of government against the other party.”
The revelation has sparked calls for accountability, with one user noting, “Something should really be done about this — and not just letting the Republicans who were spied on sue the government for $500K+ in taxpayer money!” The comment referenced the Biden DOJ and special counsel Jack Smith, emphasizing the need for real consequences.
The article also highlighted the irony of Congressmen complaining about surveillance while the government has been doing the same to citizens for over a decade, referencing the Patriot Act’s trade-off between security and freedoms.
