FIRST ON FOX: Former Special Counsel Jack Smith's investigators obtained records containing communications between nearly 50 journalists and Trump administration officials — including Fox News personnel — after subpoenaing text-message records associated with dozens of White House phones during the federal election investigation of President Donald Trump, Fox News Digital has learned ahead of Tuesday's Senate Judiciary Committee hearing.Previous congressional disclosures showed investigators obtained records involving members of Congress.The latest records reveal the production also included communications between government officials and journalists working for some of the country's largest news organizations.The communications appeared in records produced by the National Archives in response to a subpoena seeking material associated with 87 White House phones from Trump's first administration, according to a spokesperson for Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, citing whistleblower disclosures made to the chairman."What will the partisan media say about this disgraceful government overreach?
