Biden-Harris Justice Department Gathered Chairman Jordan’s Phone Records for Over Two Years
November 20, 2025
WASHINGTON, D.C. – In response to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan's request for documents and communications between Verizon Wireless and former Special Counsel Jack Smith, newly obtained documents reveal that the Biden-Harris Administration Justice Department obtained Chairman Jordan's phone records over a two-year period.
The Biden-Harris Justice Department obtained a grand jury subpoena issued on April 25, 2022—without Chairman Jordan's knowledge—for "all call detail records" beginning on January 1, 2020, including but not limited to records for inbound and outbound calls, text messages, direct-connect communications, voicemail messages, addresses, as well as sources of payments, IP addresses, and location information.
The subpoena was accompanied by a nondisclosure order asserting that notifying Chairman Jordan of the existence of the subpoena could "result in flight from prosecution, destruction of or tampering with evidence, intimidation of potential witnesses, and serious jeopardy to the investigation."
The Arctic Frost investigation, which launched on April 13, 2022, formed the basis of Smith's election case against President Donald Trump. Under Smith's leadership, the Biden-Harris Justice Department secretly obtained the phone records of over a dozen sitting Republican Members of Congress.
Chairman Jordan's phone records were requested by Timothy Duree, a Justice Department prosecutor who worked with Thomas Windom, one of Smith's top prosecutors who was recently referred to the DOJ for criminal prosecution by the Committee.
Several members of Smith's Special Counsel team failed to fully cooperate with the Committee's investigation into the Biden-Harris Justice Department's weaponization of the rule of law. The disturbing tactics employed by Smith's team during its partisan and politically motivated prosecutions of President Trump undermined the integrity of the criminal justice system. As Special Counsel, Smith was ultimately responsible for the prosecutorial misconduct and constitutional abuses committed by his office.
