Trump Calls for Prosecution of Biden-Era Officials Over 2020 Election Investigation

President Trump called for the prosecution of several Biden administration officials, including Special Counsel Jack Smith, former Attorney General Merrick Garland, former FBI Director Christopher Wray, and former Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, accusing them of unethical and illegal behavior during investigations into the 2020 election. Trump claimed these officials approved "Operation Arctic Frost," an FBI investigation that scrutinized phone records of Republican lawmakers in 2023 as part of probing his alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election results. The Senate Judiciary Committee disclosed that the FBI obtained phone data showing call metadata but not content, as part of the investigation. Trump accused these officials of spying on senators and congress members, though details of the documents he referenced remain unspecified. The investigation led by Smith resulted in indictments against Trump related to election interference and retention of government documents. These accusations continue the ongoing political conflict surrounding the 2020 election and its aftermath.
