Jack Smith's Team Spied On 44 Lawmakers' Texts, Built A Case On Them, And Misled Congress: Grassley

In a major revelation, investigators led by former special counsel Jack Smith allegedly bypassed Justice Department protocols to access text messages between Trump White House officials and 44 Congress members, subsequently using this information to build a case against them. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley has accused Smith's team of misleading Congress about their methods and findings. This scandal highlights serious concerns about privacy violations and the integrity of legal investigations, raising questions about the ethical boundaries of intelligence gathering in political contexts.
