President Trump late Friday urged prosecutions of Merrick Garland, Christopher Wray, Jack Smith and Lisa Monaco, accusing them of approving an FBI probe that obtained phone data for nine Republican lawmakers during the Arctic Frost investigation. He alleged “spying” and claimed the 2020 election was rigged, though the Senate Judiciary Committee says agents did not access call content. Chair Chuck Grassley called the FBI’s actions “disturbing,” while Smith’s attorneys said they were lawful. Smith’s 2023 case against Mr. Trump was later dropped after his election win. Trump recently sought $230 million from DOJ over past probes.
