A newly disclosed FBI document shows that former Special Counsel Jack Smith met with former FBI Director Christopher Wray in 2023 while overseeing the federal investigation known as “Arctic Frost.”

The meeting was listed internally by the FBI as a “significant case notification,” according to records shared with congressional investigators.

Fox News reported that the document was provided to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley of Iowa and Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin as part of their ongoing review into Smith’s handling of the January 6 and 2020 election inquiries.

The FBI document, created as part of its “significant case notification” system, stated: “On 5/24/2023, Special Counsel Jack Smith met with FBI Director Wray.” The meeting occurred one day before the FBI generated the notification, which highlighted developments in the Arctic Frost investigation.

A “significant case notification” is used by the FBI to update senior leadership and field offices about cases deemed to have substantial public importance.

The Arctic Frost probe was categorized as a “sensitive investigative matter,” according to information provided to lawmakers.

Grassley said the newly revealed document contradicts Smith’s unwillingness to clarify whether he met with senior Biden-Harris administration law enforcement officials.

Grassley said, “Jack Smith claims he wants to tell his story to Congress, but when I asked him point-blank if he ever met with Garland, Monaco, or Wray as part of his investigation, he refused to answer.”

In October, Grassley sent a letter asking Smith if he had met with Wray, then-Attorney General Merrick Garland, then-Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, or then-FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate during the Arctic Frost investigation.

Smith responded to the letter but did not disclose whether he had held meetings with any of the officials.

Grassley said, “Either Smith has a bad memory, or he’s simply not willing to come clean about his actions,” adding that, “if Smith really wanted the American people to hear the truth, he’d be cooperating with my straightforward congressional oversight requests instead of making excuses. I’m going to continue investigating to ensure the public gets full transparency.”

Sen. Johnson has also raised concerns about the Arctic Frost probe, which continues to draw scrutiny from lawmakers seeking details about the contacts between the special counsel’s office and senior Justice Department or FBI officials.

The meeting between Smith and Wray noted in the FBI document has added further questions about internal discussions related to the investigation.
