Blackburn sues Smith over secret phone records, challenging his legal authority

Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee against former special counsel Jack Smith and the Justice Department. The suit alleges Smith illegally obtained her phone toll records during the 'Arctic Frost' investigation into Trump's 2020 election claims. Filed one day after Smith's Senate testimony, the complaint seeks to declare his appointment unconstitutional and demands the destruction of her data, seeking only $1 in nominal damages to establish accountability.

Blackburn sues Smith over secret phone records subpoena

Sen. Marsha Blackburn filed a lawsuit against former special counsel Jack Smith and the Justice Department, alleging he illegally obtained her phone toll records during the 'Arctic Frost' investigation. The suit, filed in Tennessee one day after Smith’s Senate testimony, seeks to declare his appointment unconstitutional and demands the destruction of her data. Blackburn’s legal team argues Smith violated the Speech or Debate Clause by securing a nondisclosure order without informing the court that a sitting senator’s records were targeted. While Smith defended his actions as necessary to prevent election subversion, critics characterize the probe as a partisan 'witch hunt.' The case seeks nominal damages, focusing on judicial accountability rather than financial compensation.
