A Senate Judiciary Committee investigation into former special counsel Jack Smith has revealed how far his probe of President Donald Trump reached, extending to members of Congress, media outlets, and the financial records of thousands of Americans.

Smith testified before the committee Wednesday, the same day Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley released a report alleging that Smith’s probe was driven by “the righteousness of his investigation into President Donald Trump.” The documents are part of Grassley’s ongoing inquiry into “Arctic Frost,” the investigation into the alleged 2020 fake elector scheme that began in 2022.

The report alleges that Smith used his investigation to surveil 16 Republican members of Congress, which it says violated the Constitution’s Speech or Debate Clause. The clause shields lawmakers from being questioned by the Executive Branch over their legislative work and is a key safeguard of the separation of powers between the coequal branches.

After the hearing, Tennessee Republican Sen. Bill Hagerty filed a bar complaint against Smith, citing the “broader harm to our constitutional order, including the chilling effect on legislative communications,” as well as Smith’s “lack of remorse.”

Smith also obtained the financial data of everyday supporters across all 50 states who gave as little as $1 to the president and allied groups, according to the committee’s report, including at least 4,782 personal checks. Though the probe centered on January 6, 2021, the checks Smith obtained spanned from September 2019 to August 2023.

It remains unclear if Smith was attempting to charge Americans, but he told the committee he was conducting a “criminal investigation.”

“Yes, we acquired financial information. As I sit here right now, I cannot recite to you every subpoena we issued… I can tell you why we issued subpoenas, and it was to conduct a criminal investigation,” Smith said Wednesday.

“No matter what you say, there’s no legitimate basis for what you did,” Grassley countered. “Especially since your staff killed an investigation into the Clinton Campaign. Donations to Republican groups wasn’t necessary to your investigation, which is proved out by the fact it wasn’t mentioned in your public report.”

Smith’s probe also reached the press. According to Grassley, Smith obtained the communications of 60 Minutes, The Associated Press, Bloomberg, CBS, CNBC, CNN, Fox News, the Los Angeles Times, the Mark Levin Show, the Media Research Center, NBC, NPR, New York Magazine, Reuters, The Federalist, The Washington Post, The Washington Times and The Wall Street Journal.

Smith also issued hundreds of subpoenas to businesses, Americans and Republican organizations as part of his investigation, according to information Grassley previously released.

The subpoenas included “broad financial data relating to conservative individuals and entities,” “communications with White House advisors, such as Stephen Miller, Dan Scavino, Jared Kushner, Lara Trump and others” and “statistical data and analysis relating to donors and fundraising efforts.” It was in that release from Grassley that it was revealed media companies like CBS, Fox News, Fox Business, Newsmax and Sinclair were targeted. The more extensive list of media organizations subpoenaed was releaved on Wednesday.

“In all, you issued 197 subpoenas to 34 individuals at least, and 163 businesses, and you sought records on at least 430 Republican individuals and entities,” Cruz said on Wednesday. “If you look at the list, there is one thing that is consistent. Every name on it is a Republican.”

Grassley argued that while Smith framed his work as an investigation into the January 6 Capitol riot, the scope of his subpoenas showed a broader effort to target the Republican Party.

“Importantly, Jack Smith has claimed his focus was on January 6. But his own conduct contradicts that assertion. When his team subpoenaed records, sometimes the date ranges extended weeks, months, or years before and after January 6,” Grassley said in his opening remarks.

“Indeed, in some examples, Jack Smith subpoenaed and obtained information on Republican groups as early as 2019 and as late as 2023. You see, that’s what you must do if your case is designed to map out and target the entire Republican Party,” he said.
