Massive trove of Republican voter and donor info breached in Biden DOJ probe: Senate chairman

A memo from Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, an Iowa Republican, alleges that the Justice Department under former President Joe Biden amassed personal data on a vast number of Republican voters and donors. Fox News Digital obtained the memo, which updates Grassley's inquiry into former special counsel Jack Smith and the Arctic Frost investigation. That probe began in 2022 and examined attempts to overturn the 2020 election results. Smith appeared before the committee last month.

According to Grassley, Smith's office and the department obtained spreadsheets covering at least 639,000 people, with more than 148,000 rows labeled as donors, who generally gave small amounts. Grassley also said investigators sought sales records for red MAGA hats and other Trump merchandise, including buyers' names and home shipping addresses. He called the material irrelevant and personally invasive, and noted it was passed along to FBI agents.

The records reportedly included birth dates, emails, street addresses, party registration, occupations, employers, credit card details, donor analysis and contribution amounts. Samples listed people working as retirees, pool technicians, drivers and loggers.
