President Donald Trump reacted to a new revelation about Jack Smith’s reported conduct during the Arctic Frost probe.
Just the News reported the bombshell on Saturday morning, according to documents obtained by the outlet.
“Then-Special Counsel Jack Smith’s office approved paying $20,000 in 2023 to a confidential human source for information in the controversial FBI investigation code-named Arctic Frost that probed efforts by President Donald Trump and his followers to contest the 2020 election results,” the article read. “The revelation is included in a tranche of new memos that FBI Director Kash Patel turned over to Congress this week that provide more clarity on the tactics and scope of the inquiry that agents and prosecutors used to try to build a case that Trump, his lawyers and allies had violated the law by attempting to offer the Senate alternate electors ahead of the certification of the 2020 election results that put Joe Biden into office.”
This didn’t escape the notice of Trump, who has been increasingly outspoken about the treatment he received following the 2020 election. He hopped on Truth Social to share the article and offer some commentary of his own.

But the biggest bombshell in the latest document was the revelation that the FBI had an informant that Smith’s office approved for compensation for the dirt he or she shared with the FBI.
An electronic communication “documents prosecutorial approval, in the form of emailed concurrence from Counselor to the Special Counsel Raymond Hulser on 06/02/2023, of a payment for information in the amount of $20,000.00 to [name redacted] for information provided in support of captioned investigation,” one memo reads.
“The payment was discussed by Raymond Hulser and Assistant Special Counsel Julia Gegenheimer with Special Counsel Jack Smith,” the memo added.
The memos showed the chain of approval with an FBI agent who wrote to Smith’s office on June 2, 2023.
“As discussed, request your office’s concurrence in our proposed payment of $20,000 for CHS’ provision of information in support of the investigation,” the agent wrote.
ADVERTISEMENTHulser wrote back succinctly, “Concur, thank you.”
“Under my leadership, the FBI is producing documents at record speed to get the facts straight to the American people. What occurred in the Arctic Frost matter was an egregious abuse of power and violation of the law. This FBI is committed to restoring accountability and public trust,” Patel said in his statement.
