Whistleblower disclosures reveal an anti-Trump FBI agent broke protocol and played a critical role in opening an investigation related to the 2020 election. The investigation, known as 'Arctic Frost,' tied President Donald Trump to the probe without sufficient predication. The agent, Timothy Thibault, was fired for violating the Hatch Act due to his political posts on social media. Special Counsel Jack Smith led the investigation into Trump's retention of classified documents and whether he obstructed the federal government's investigation.
