FBI tracked GOP senators' locations in addition to phone records, Hawley says

The FBI tracked the locations of Republican senators as part of a sweeping surveillance effort during former special counsel Jack Smith‘s investigation into the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) said Tuesday, fueling concerns over political targeting that took place under the Biden administration.

“I believe they also tracked our location over a period of days,” Hawley said in an interview with Fox News. “This is outrageous. I mean, this is really unbelievable. It’s blatantly unconstitutional. It’s a violation of the First Amendment. It’s a violation of the separation of powers.”
