Recent documents and statements reveal that the FBI, under the Biden administration, allegedly surveilled the phone records of multiple Republican senators as part of the investigation into the January 6 events. Key figures, including Senators Ron Johnson and Tommy Tuberville, have accused the FBI of excessive surveillance, describing the actions as a violation of personal privacy and comparing them to abuses seen during Watergate. Lawmakers, including Josh Hawley and Chuck Grassley, voiced their outrage over the accusations, suggesting that the investigations led by special counsel Jack Smith amount to politically motivated spying—a claim met with fierce denial from Democratic officials. This controversy raises significant questions about surveillance practices and partisan oversight in the realm of federal investigations.
