Congressional records released by Senator Chuck Grassley reveal that Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigative team bypassed internal filter protocols, accessing privileged communications during the “Arctic Frost” probe of Donald J. Trump.

The team reportedly obtained text messages from 44 members of Congress, potentially violating the Constitution’s Speech or Debate Clause.
