Jack Smith testifies before Congress on Tuesday, Sept. 29, 2026
It’s long been known that Jack Smith, the improperly appointed special prosecutor assigned by Democrats during the Joe Biden White House to develop lawfare cases against President Donald Trump, demanded phone records of Republican members of Congress.
That’s an ongoing fight as that move appeared to violate the Constitution’s speech or debate clause providing protections for those individuals.
He further demanded copies of communications between officials with the Trump administration and reporters.
And now there’s a new stunner: that he collected copies of personal checks from nearly 5,000 people who donated to Trump, obtaining their actual signatures, bank account numbers, routing numbers and more.
Smith is testifying before Congress Tuesday, insisting that his politicized prosecutions were not political at all.
A report at the Gateway Pundit explained Smith accessed the “highly sensitive information” about Americans as part of his lawfare “Arctic Frost” case he created against Trump.
U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, who has been instrumental in finding and releasing the scandalous evidence of the Democrats’ lawfare against Trump, charged that there was “no legitimate basis” for what Smith did.
He pointed out the Justice Department and FBI will forever possess thousands of people’s addresses, phone numbers, banks, bank account numbers, bank routing numbers and copies of their true signatures.
Smith also obtained copies of communications between dozens of journalists and Trump officials.
Fox News, which was targeted by Smith, confirmed, “Smith’s investigators obtained records containing communications between nearly 50 journalists and Trump administration officials — including Fox News personnel — after subpoenaing text-message records associated with dozens of White House phones during the federal election investigation of President Donald Trump.”
Records show, the report said “the production also included communications between government officials and journalists working for some of the country’s largest news organizations. The communications appeared in records produced by the National Archives in response to a subpoena seeking material associated with 87 White House phones from Trump’s first administration, according to a spokesperson for Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, citing whistleblower disclosures made to the chairman.”
“What will the partisan media say about this disgraceful government overreach? This wasn’t a normal prosecution by any means,” Grassley told Fox News Digital.
Other organizations targeted by Smith’s spying included CNN, CBS News — including its newsmagazine “60 Minutes” — NBC News and CNBC.
The report said, “The records also include communications involving journalists from the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Bloomberg, Los Angeles Times, New York Magazine, Reuters, the Associated Press and NPR, as well as The Federalist and Washington Times.”
