Biden FBI Spied On Senator Cynthia Lummis, Documents Show

Nine Republicans in Congress who were spied on by the FBI under President Joe Biden, including Wyoming's own Senator Cynthia Lummis.

Wiretapping and other surveillance methods were part of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s probe into the U.S. Capitol riot of Jan. 6, 2021, according to documents released Monday by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa. The type of phone data collection is known as “toll analysis.” Grassley and Lummis said the personal cell phones of lawmakers were targeted.

The FBI, working under Smith’s direction, obtained call logs and metadata tied to nearly a dozen GOP senators, including Hawley, as part of its investigation into the Capitol riot, Fox News reported. The tracking involved call records and timestamps, not the content of the conversations.

Hawley told Fox News Digital on Monday that the newly released documents suggest that Biden’s administration was "spying on the president’s political opponents," which he called "a profound violation of the separation of powers."

During a press conference, which you can watch in the video above, Senator Lummas thanked the President, as well as Kash Patel and Dan Bongino, "for bringing this to our attention." She went on to note that others had been targeted and called the actions "disgraceful behavior by the Department of Justice."

"This is worse than Watergate," said Senator Hawley, arguing that Biden "activated the entire government to go after anybody who dared to oppose him." He accused the administration of using agencies such as the FBI, DOJ, and DHS to silence critics and monitor private citizens.
