House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan said Thursday that the former president’s Justice Department secretly obtained his phone records for more than two years as part of the Arctic Frost investigation, as reported by The New York Post.

Jordan released documents showing that a federal grand jury subpoena sought extensive information tied to his communications dating back to early 2020.

Jordan said the records were collected during the same investigation that led to the indictment of President Donald Trump.

He said he recently learned that he had also been targeted by the probe overseen by former Special Counsel Jack Smith, making him one of several lawmakers whose communications were examined during the investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021 riot at the Capitol.

“They spied on President Trump. They spied on Senators. Now, we just learned, they spied on me,” Jordan wrote on X. “If they can do it to us, they can do it to you.”

According to the documents released by Jordan, prosecutor Timothy Duree, who worked on Smith’s team, issued a subpoena to Verizon on April 25, 2022. The subpoena sought “call detail records,” which included text messages and voicemails, associated with Jordan’s phone number. The order directed Verizon to provide information “from January 1, 2020, to the present.”

The subpoena also asked for “means and source of payment for such service (including any credit card or bank account number)” and included a request for billing records. It further sought information related to “session times and durations,” as well as location data and IP addresses connected to the phone activity.

A nondisclosure order accompanied the subpoena. Magistrate Judge David A. Baker signed the order, directing Verizon not to disclose the existence of the subpoena.

The order stated that there were “reasonable grounds to believe that such disclosure will result in flight from prosecution, destruction of or tampering with evidence, intimidation of potential witnesses, and serious jeopardy to the investigation.”

Jordan discussed the matter in an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity. He described the subpoena as “ridiculous” and said it represented the “epitome of weaponization of government.”

He said the subpoena covered an extended period of his communications and provided investigators with details about his call history, including the identities of callers, the timing of calls, and location information.

“All the way back to January of 2020, they gathered information that told them who I call, who called me, when we called each other, when the call took place, how long the call was and where I was at when I made that call – they got location as well – and they gathered that over a time period of 28 months,” Jordan said.

“This is how ridiculous this is and why we are doing everything to get to the bottom of it.”

Jordan said his understanding of the subpoena indicated that Smith’s team did not obtain the contents of his text messages or phone calls.
