"(AP Photo/Mark Schiefelbein) President Donald Trump called for former Special Counsel Jack Smith to be jailed over the investigation into him known as Arctic Frost. In a post fired off on Truth Social Thursday, Trump wrote the following about Smith: He is a CRIMINAL AND SHOULD BE IN JAIL. A MAJOR LOWLIFE AND FAILURE. An ugly person, both inside and out! I beat him badly, and love watching him squirm now."
"The probe code named Arctic Frost was led by an openly anti-Trump FBI supervisor, was eventually taken over by Special Prosecutor Jack Smith and treated the effort by Trump's allies to submit alternate electors to Congress to sway the certification of the 2020 election as a criminal conspiracy, even though two prior episodes in American history were not prosecuted as crimes."
"This is like so many of the investigations we've done, Maria. The only thing we get wrong when we start of these investigations is, it's always worse than we thought. And this one was certainly the case, Jordan said. Because this was so expansive, so broad, Sen. Grassley was exactly right; this was a complete fishing expedition. Jordan added, We want Jack Smith in a deposition format when he's under oath."
President Donald Trump called for former Special Counsel Jack Smith to be jailed and posted insults on Truth Social. The FBI memo that opened the Arctic Frost probe was described by former prosecutors and FBI agents as thin on evidence and legal justification. The probe, initially led by an openly anti-Trump FBI supervisor, was later taken over by Special Prosecutor Jack Smith and treated alternate-elector efforts as a criminal conspiracy despite two similar historical episodes not being prosecuted. Republican lawmakers, including Rep. Jim Jordan and Sen. Chuck Grassley, called the inquiry a fishing expedition and sought Smith's testimony under oath.
