Trump’s Government-Issued Phone Seized
Political Fallout
The Arctic Frost revelations have ignited a political firestorm in Washington.
Rep. Brandon Gill (R–TX) introduced articles of impeachment against Judge James Boasberg,
accusing him of “abuse of power” and “betrayal of the public trust” for authorizing subpoenas linked to the surveillance program.
Investigations Underway
Former Justice Department officials have been subpoenaed as Congress investigates
whether the Biden administration engaged in “domestic political espionage.”
Timing and Tension
The scandal comes amid a partial government shutdown, highlighting rising institutional mistrust.
“The government shutdown has exposed deep institutional mistrust,”
said Mark Feldman of the Brookings Institution. “The optics are devastating —
not just for the administration, but for the public’s faith in democratic accountability.”
Legal and Political Stakes
Trump’s team may seek the return of a seized phone, while Congress prepares new hearings.
“This is bigger than Trump or Biden,” said Sen. Chuck Grassley.
“It’s about whether the intelligence powers of this country are being used to protect liberty — or to destroy it.”
