The Biden White House turned over government cellphones belonging to President Donald Trump and former Vice President Mike Pence to the FBI in May 2022 , Fox News Digital has learned.

The phones were obtained and entered as evidence as part of the FBI ’s original anti-Trump 2020 election investigation, which eventually was taken over by now-former Special Counsel Jack Smith .

The revelations come from legally protected whistleblower disclosures provided to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley and Senate Subcommittee on Investigations Chairman Ron Johnson .

Grassley and Johnson gave Bondi and Patel a deadline of March 27, 2025 , to turn over all records.

They stressed that they expect the production of all records related to the Arctic Frost investigation, including internal records of investigative updates.

FBI spokesman Ben Williamson told Fox News Digital that the bureau is "in receipt of Chairman Grassley and Senator Johnson ’s request".
