Former special counsel Jack Smith sought sweeping phone data tied to FBI Director Kash Patel and multiple Republican lawmakers, according to newly released records, drawing fresh scrutiny to the Biden administration-era investigation into President Donald Trump and his allies.

Documents made public Tuesday by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) reveal that Smith’s team pursued nearly two years’ worth of Patel’s phone records when he was a private citizen, including call logs, text metadata, and personal identifying information such as addresses. The subpoenas, approved under nondisclosure orders by federal judges in Washington, covered periods stretching from late 2020 through early 2023.
