Charlie Kirk death has rattled the United States of America and now Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday revealed that a whistleblower had exposed that the Conservationist's foundation Turning Point USA or TPUSA was targeted by FBI-led programme "Arctic Frost" during the tenure of former President Joe Biden.

Some examples of the groups the Wray FBI sought to place under political investigation included the Republican National Committee, Republican Attorneys General Association and Trump political groups. In total, 92 Republican targets, including Republican groups and Republican-linked individuals, were placed under the investigative scope of Arctic Frost, Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley stated.

On that political list was one of Charlie Kirk’s groups, Turning Point USA, Grassley said.


In other words, Arctic Frost wasn’t just a case to politically investigate Trump. It was the vehicle by which partisan FBI agents and DOJ prosecutors could achieve their partisan ends and improperly investigate the entire Republican political apparatus, Senator Grassley said.

Today, Senator Johnson and I are making these records public for the country to see, Grassley announced.
