FBI analyzed Republican lawmakers' phone records during Jan. 6 probe, GOP senators say

The FBI analyzed the cellphone "tolling data" of nine Republican lawmakers in 2023 as part of its probe into the January 6th riot, according to GOP senators. The data, which revealed call times and durations but not content, was sought during the "Arctic Frost" investigation, a precursor to Special Counsel Jack Smith's probe. Senate Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley alleged privacy violations, while FBI Director Kash Patel vowed to end "abuse of power" and prevent the agency from being "weaponized."
