司法部官员批准了2022年利用公共来源对特朗普进行的“北极冰霜”探查,引发了政治偏见和政策违反方面的争议。 DOJ officials approved the 2022 "Arctic Frost" probe into Trump using public sources, sparking controversy over political bias and policy violations.

包括总检察长梅里克·加兰、副总检察长莉萨·摩纳哥和联邦调查局局长克里斯托弗·怀伊(Christopher Wray), 均批准2022年4月启动针对前总统唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)及其同伙的「北极冰霜」调查。 Documents released by Senator Chuck Grassley reveal that top Justice Department officials, including Attorney General Merrick Garland, Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, and FBI Director Christopher Wray, approved the April 2022 launch of the "Arctic Frost" investigation targeting former President Donald Trump and associates. 调查由联邦调查局华盛顿外地办事处进行,依靠公共来源和媒体报道,而不是秘密证据,引起人们对调查的理由和范围提出批评。 The probe, conducted by the FBI’s Washington Field Office, relied on public sources and media reports rather than confidential evidence, prompting criticism over its justification and scope. 调查导致Mar-a-Lago搜查和任命Jack Smith特别顾问,重新辩论联邦执法中的政治动机和使用监视权。 The investigation led to the Mar-a-Lago search and the appointment of Special Counsel Jack Smith, reigniting debate over political motivations in federal law enforcement and the use of surveillance powers. Grassley称这一行动是滥用权力行为,理由是违反司法部的政策,要求对总统候选人进行调查必须获得书面批准。 Grassley called the action an abuse of authority, citing violations of DOJ policy requiring written approval for investigations involving presidential candidates.
