A new whistleblower report shares explosive allegations about the Biden White House colluding with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), in an effort reportedly led by a Trump-hating agent to mire the then-former President Donald Trump in an investigation of the 2020 election.
The public release of the protected whistleblowers’ disclosures emerges via a letter that Senate Judiciary Committee chair Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations chair Ron Johnson (R-WI) sent on Thursday night to Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel:
The Biden White House turned over government cellphones belonging to President Donald Trump and former Vice President Mike Pence to the FBI in May 2022 as part of a bureau probe into the aftermath of the 2020 election, tying Trump to that investigation without sufficient predication, Fox News Digital has learned.
Once the agents had the phones in hand, a source familiar with the investigation told the outlet, “[they] began drafting a search warrant to extract the phones’ data.”

The sources, who called it nothing more than a “gotcha scheme” against Trump, named names:
The phones were obtained and entered as evidence as part of the FBI’s original anti-Trump 2020 election investigation, which eventually was taken over by special counsel Jack Smith. That case was known inside the bureau as “Arctic Frost” and was opened April 13, 2022, by anti-Trump former FBI agent Timothy Thibault.
Our sister site PJ Media has more of the details from Fox News Digital’s exclusive reporting:
Thibault, according to whistleblowers, broke protocol and played a critical role in opening and advancing the bureau’s original investigation related to the 2020 election, tying Trump to the probe without sufficient predication. Thibault broke protocol by taking action to open the investigation and involve Trump despite being unauthorized to open criminal investigations in his role. Only special agents have the authority to open criminal investigations.
Thibault vowed to make the investigation “prioritized over all others in the Branch” and, at the time, commented that “it frankly took too long for us to open this (investigation),” according to documents reviewed by Fox News Digital.
You can’t make this stuff up. We now know that Biden’s team was all too happy to help the FBI in its latest partisan crusade.
Sens. Grassley and Johnson didn’t mince words on the “aggressive” and partisan nature of the probe, which attacked not only Pres. Trump but “his supporters,” writing:
“The new records we are making public point to an aggressive investigation run by anti-Trump agents and prosecutors intent on using every resource available to pursue Trump and his supporters.”
The DOJ is expected to dive into what exactly happened with the agents, and Trump and former VP Pence’s cellphones. The senators wrote to Bondi and Patel:
“Quite simply, the public has a right to know what happened in Arctic Frost and, based on what we’ve exposed to date, the American public deserves better from its law enforcement agencies. It is important that every individual at your agencies maintains the highest level of professionalism, and does not allow political bias to motivate or guide their investigative work.”
