The FBI tracked Republican senators as part of its Arctic Frost investigation, a newly disclosed document shows.

FBI agents obtained data on the cellphone use of Sens. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.), Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.), Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska), and Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.), according to the document, which was made public by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) on Oct. 6.
They obtained information known as toll records from the phones. The data shows where, when, and to whom a call is made. It doesn’t include the content of the call, according to senators.
