GOP Senators Accuse FBI of "Political Weaponization"

Senate Republicans claim the FBI, under Special Counsel Jack Smith's January 6 probe, "politically weaponized" the investigation by obtaining phone records of nine GOP lawmakers in 2023 via court orders. While the purpose remains unclear and the senators aren't confirmed targets, the records were reportedly obtained through a lawful grand jury process. Republicans, including Senator Chuck Grassley, are demanding accountability, alleging an "abuse of power."
