Jack Smith Tracked Republican Senators’ Communications, Claims FBI

The FBI alleged Monday that former Special Counsel Jack Smith surreptitiously tracked the private communications of at least eight Republican Senators and one representative.

Fox News Digital reported that Smith and his team allegedly tracked the phone calls of GOP Sens. Lindsey Graham (SC), Marsha Blackburn (TN), Ron Johnson (WI), Josh Hawley (MO), Cynthia Lummis (WY), Bill Hagerty (TN), Dan Sullivan (AK), Tommy Tuberville (AL) and GOP Rep. Mike Kelly (PA).

One of those allegedly targeted, Sen. Blackburn, told reporters, “The FBI under Joe Biden and under Barack Obama…they exercised activity that they had no authority to exercise…now we find out that after the Mar-a-Lago raids, after the indictment of President Trump, they surveil us — people who support President Trump. Members who are all Republicans.”

She continued, “But it shows you how out of control and rotten to the core and politicized the FBI had become. And how they had absolutely no problem at all whatsoever with political weaponization. We appreciate the information we have gotten today. We look forward to further investigation on this. ”

The list of names was reportedly discovered by FBI Director Kash Patel and exclusively obtained by Fox News Digital. The document was dated Sept. 27, 2023, and refers to the FBI’s cellular analysis survey team.

An FBI official told Fox News Digital “that Smith and his team tracking the senators were able to see which phone numbers they called, the location the phone call originated and the location where it was received.”

“A source said the calls were likely in reference to the vote to certify the 2020 election,” Fox News Digital reported.

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino reportedly briefed Republican lawmakers on the discovery of Smith’s surveillance, feeling it was important to brief the senators “as soon as possible” after the discovery.
