Johnson Targeted by Biden DOJ’s Arctic Frost

Washington, D.C. - Today, U.S. Representative Dusty Johnson (R-S.D.) released the following statement regarding Operation Arctic Frost in which President Joe Biden's Department of Justice officials obtained and reviewed the Congressman's text messages. The investigative team improperly reviewed the messages of 44 Members of Congress.

"My text messages obtained by Jack Smith's rouge investigation team shows an unprecedented level of carelessness for the rule of law and the constitutional separation of powers," said Johnson. "I'm grateful to the whistleblowers who brought these acts to light and to the Senate Judiciary Committee for continuing this Congressional oversight."

Johnson will review the classified information obtained by the Justice Department.

Background:

The U.S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary released evidence that the United States Department of Justice Special Counsel investigation lead by Jack Smith improperly obtained and reviewed text messages from Members of Congress from across political lines.
