The Federal Bureau of Investigation under the Biden administration investigated dozens of Republican-aligned groups as part of a program called Arctic Frost, according to records being released Monday by Senate Republicans.
Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa said a whistleblower came forward with evidence showing that 92 conservative groups and individuals were placed under scrutiny through the program. Among those named was Turning Point USA, the activist organization founded by the late Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated by a leftist gunman last week during a speaking engagement in Utah.
“These new records show that Arctic Frost was much broader than just an electoral matter,” Grassley said. “In total, 92 Republican targets, including Republican groups and Republican-linked individuals, were placed under investigative scope of Arctic Frost. On that political list was one of Charlie Kirk’s groups, Turning Point USA.”
The newly disclosed records are being made public by Grassley and Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, who argue that the program represents an expansion of federal power against political opponents.
“Today, Senator Johnson and I are making these records public for the entire country to see, and I hope a lot of people are interested in seeing what government can do when various agencies have a political agenda,” Grassley said.

Investigation of 92 conservative groups without the context of how many liberal groups were investigated and the associated man hours spent on each group, makes it difficult to understand the depth of the problem.
