FROM FOX NEWS: The Department of Justice subpoenaed the personal phone records of House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan in 2022, seeking the Ohio Republican’s phone data covering a more than two-year period.
The subpoena, obtained by Fox News Digital, shows a federal prosecutor who later worked on special counsel Jack Smith’s Jan. 6 investigation ordered Verizon to hand over the phone data, also known as toll records, reaching back to Jan. 1, 2020.
The request appears to be the most expansive yet of the publicly known subpoenas targeting senators and current and former House members during Arctic Frost, the investigation that led to Smith bringing election-related charges against President Donald Trump.
Smith did not begin working as special counsel until seven months after the subpoena was issued, meaning the request pre-dated his time at the DOJ.
The subpoena for Jordan’s phone records—one of the earliest known in the “Arctic Frost” investigation—was issued while he was the ranking Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, the panel responsible for overseeing the Department of Justice.
This timing underscores Republican objections that the DOJ demands for members’ call records violated the separation of powers and the Speech or Debate Clause.
The subpoena did not seek the content of Jordan’s calls or texts, only metadata: dates, times, duration, and the phone numbers he contacted or that contacted him. It also covered three additional redacted phone numbers and included a one-year nondisclosure order signed by a federal magistrate judge in Washington, D.C.
In a statement, Verizon said it has been gathering information on subpoenas related to lawmakers in coordination with the House and Senate Judiciary committees.
“As part of our investigation, we uncovered new information regarding Chairman Jordan and shared it with him as soon as possible,” Verizon spokesman Rich Young said. “We are committed to restoring trust through transparency and will continue to work with Congress and the administration as they examine these issues and consider reforms to expand notification protections.”
