周二，爱荷华州共和党参议员查克·格拉斯利在听证会上指控，现任国会议员的电话记录被秘密获取，且阻止议员援引宪法保护。
参议院司法委员会主席格拉斯利和主持听证会的田纳西州共和党参议员玛莎·布莱克本表示，他们的小组计划盘问包括Verizon、AT&T和T-Mobile高管在内的听证会证人，就电话数据披露问题进行质询。
格拉斯利在开场陈述中指出，这三家公司共收到10份传票，涉及20名现任或前任共和党国会议员，这些传票与“北极霜”调查有关——这起FBI调查导致特别检察官杰克·史密斯因2020年大选相关问题对前总统唐纳德·特朗普提起诉讼。

布莱克本在开场陈述中称，这些披露行为是“对隐私的侵犯和对我们宪法权利的违反”。她指出，言论或辩论条款为国会成员提供了额外的免受起诉的保护。
“至关重要的是，这些运营商中的每一家都必须公开说明他们做出的决定，以及他们为何（或为何不）允许司法部部长杰克·史密斯‘武器化’政府权力。”布莱克本表示。

此次听证会将是共和党委员会成员首次有公开机会向各电话运营商询问传票处理情况——其中一些成员的电话数据曾被少量转交给史密斯团队。
格拉斯利指出，联邦法律规定，除非议员是调查目标，否则电话运营商不得被禁止向参议院办公室通报传票事项。他还表示，特别是Verizon公司，其合同要求在收到涉及参议员的传票时必须通知参议院军务总长。
传票还附有法院批准的封口令，要求电话公司不得告知参议员收到记录请求。包括布莱克本、得克萨斯州共和党参议员特德·克鲁兹和犹他州共和党参议员迈克·李在内的委员会成员，其电话记录都作为“北极霜”调查的一部分被传唤。

尽管电话公司受到审查，格拉斯利也指责史密斯。据电子邮件显示，史密斯获得了司法部公共诚信部的许可，以作为其调查的一部分寻求参议员的记录，但该部门一名官员也暗示传票可能使司法部面临宪法挑战。
“史密斯及其团队不负责任地强行推进，同时故意向国会成员隐瞒其活动……史密斯的欺骗行为严重侵犯了宪法官员的核心宪法职责。”格拉斯利表示。
与此同时，史密斯多次为传票辩护，指出传票符合当时司法部的政策。

Phone records of sitting members of Congress were secretly obtained in a way that blocked lawmakers from invoking constitutional protections, Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, alleged Tuesday during a hearing.
Grassley, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., who is leading the hearing, signaled that their panel planned to grill hearing witnesses, who included executives from Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile, about the disclosure of the phone data.
Grassley noted in his opening remarks that the three companies received a total of 10 subpoenas for 20 current or former Republican Congress members related to Arctic Frost, the FBI probe that led to Smith bringing charges against President Donald Trump over the 2020 election.

Blackburn, in her opening remarks, called the disclosures an “invasion of privacy and violation of our constitutional rights.” Blackburn pointed to the speech or debate clause, which gives Congress members an added layer of protection from prosecution.
“It’s critical that each of these carriers go on the record about the decisions they made and why — or why not — they enabled with Jack Smith’s weaponization of government,” Blackburn said.

The hearing will offer the first public opportunity for Republican committee members, several of whom had a narrow set of their phone data turned over to Smith’s team, to seek answers from each of the phone carriers on how they handled the subpoenas upon receiving them.
Grassley noted that a federal statute said phone carriers cannot be barred from giving notice to a Senate office about a subpoena unless the member is the target of an investigation. He also said Verizon, in particular, was under a contract that required it to notify the Senate Sergeant at Arms about subpoenas related to senators.
The subpoenas were accompanied by court-authorized gag orders, which ordered the phone companies not to alert the senators to the records request. Blackburn, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, are among those on the committee who had their records subpoenaed as part of Arctic Frost.

While the phone companies come under scrutiny, Grassley also blamed Smith. Smith received the greenlight from DOJ’s Public Integrity Section to seek the senators’ records as part of his investigation, according to emails, but an official from the section also floated that the subpoenas could expose the DOJ to constitutional challenges.

“Smith and his team irresponsibly steam0rolled ahead while intentionally hiding their activity from Members of Congress. … Smith’s deceitful conduct was a substantial intrusion into the core constitutional activity of constitutional officers,” Grassley said.
Smith, meanwhile, has repeatedly defended the subpoenas, pointing out that they aligned with DOJ policies at the time.
