Jim Jordan: Biden’s Justice Dept ‘Spied On Me,’ Seized 28 Months Of Phone Records

The Justice Department under former President Joe Biden reportedly subpoenaed two years of phone records belonging to House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan as part of the wide-ranging “Arctic Frost” investigation involving former President Donald Trump and his allies.

Records show that the Justice Department demanded that Verizon turn over details on Jordan’s phone calls from January 2020 until April 2022. The requested information included details on inbound and outbound calls, texts, and voice mail messages, but not the content of the calls or texts. 

“They spied on President Trump. They spied on Senators. Now, we just learned, they spied on me. If they can do it to us, they can do it to you,” Jordan posted on social media on Thursday night alongside images of the subpoena. 

The subpoena was first reported by Fox News. Other records obtained by the outlet show that a federal judge ordered that the request remain secret. Verizon produced the documents for the Justice Department, a source told Fox. 

“The Court finds reasonable grounds to believe that such disclosure will result in flight from prosecution, destruction of or tampering with evidence, intimidation of potential witnesses, and serious jeopardy to the investigation,” Judge David Baker wrote.

Baker added that Verizon’s “employees shall not disclose the existence of the Subpoena to any other person (except attorneys for PROVIDER for the purpose of receiving legal advice) for a period of one year.”

Verizon said in a statement that it was “working tirelessly” with lawmakers in Congress looking into the Arctic Frost investigation. 

“As part of our investigation, we uncovered new information regarding Chairman Jordan and shared it with him as soon as possible,” said Verizon spokesman Rich Young. “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.”

The subpoena was sent before special counsel Jack Smith took over the Arctic Frost investigation, which ended with Trump being charged with trying to overturn the 2020 presidential election. The Biden administration also turned over Trump’s government-issued phone to Smith as part of the investigation and subpoenaed his personal phone records. 

In addition to Trump and Jordan, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) revealed last month that he had uncovered evidence that the FBI analyzed the metadata of phone calls from several Republicans in Congress, including Sens. Marsha Blackburn (TN), Cynthia Lummis (WY), Ron Johnson (WI), Tommy Tuberville (AL), Dan Sullivan (AK), Josh Hawley (MO) Bill Hagerty (TN), Lindsey Graham (SC), and Rep. Mike Kelly (PA).

The Senate recently included a provision in a government-funding bill allowing senators to sue the federal government if their phone or office records were accessed without their knowledge. The House voted on Thursday to repeal that measure — but so far, the repeal has not advanced in the Senate.
