‘Arctic Frost’: Biden FBI Investigated Charlie Kirk’s TPUSA, Republican Groups
Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) dropped a political bombshell Tuesday, revealing that Joe Biden’s FBI secretly expanded an investigation known as “Arctic Frost” to surveil dozens of conservative organizations — including the late Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA.
Testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Grassley said whistleblowers have provided new records showing the FBI used Arctic Frost as a political weapon against Republicans.
“Arctic Frost was the FBI case opened and approved by anti-Trump FBI agent Timothy Thibault. It then became Jack Smith’s elector case against citizen Trump — and now President Trump,” Grassley said. “These new records show that Arctic Frost was much broader than just an electoral matter.”
According to Grassley, the case ballooned into a dragnet against 92 Republican individuals and organizations, including the RNC, the Republican Attorneys General Association, Trump campaign affiliates, and Turning Point USA.
“It was the vehicle by which partisan FBI agents and DOJ prosecutors could achieve their ends and improperly investigate the entire Republican political apparatus,” Grassley warned.
Grassley and Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) announced they are making the records public, calling it proof of political abuse inside Biden’s Department of Justice.

Meanwhile, the fallout from the assassination of Charlie Kirk continues to deepen. FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino told Fox News that Tyler Robinson — the 22-year-old accused of murdering Kirk last week — may not have acted alone.
Bongino said agents are investigating whether Robinson was “aided and abetted” by an extended network, pointing to his connections with pro-trans forums, members of the radicalized “furry” subculture, and online associates.
“We’ll also be dropping a lot of paper, a lot of subpoenas out there, to take a look to see if there was any extended network,” Bongino said on America’s Newsroom.
Utah Gov. Spencer Cox confirmed Robinson had been “deeply indoctrinated with leftist ideology” and had openly clashed with his conservative family over Charlie Kirk’s values.
FBI Director Kash Patel added that Robinson exchanged messages with at least one associate before the shooting, boasting that he had an “opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk” because of his “hatred for what Charlie stood for.”
The revelations tie together two disturbing threads: Biden’s FBI targeting conservative groups like Turning Point USA, and a radicalized young man gunning down its founder on a college campus. Both, critics say, expose a dangerous climate of weaponized politics and leftist violence in America.
