Arctic Frost Filter Review Exhibit A — Project Coconut and NARA text production

A 90-page record package released by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley and Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations Chairman Ron Johnson. The exhibit identifies Project Coconut as the January 6 investigation, describes the filter-team structure intended to screen potentially privileged material, and contains August 21, 2023 emails recording a single National Archives production of 54 Excel files containing White House phone text messages. The exhibit documents internal process and records handling; it does not itself adjudicate criminality, privilege, or the lawfulness of the underlying records request.

DOJ letter describes Arctic Frost filter-team bypass and congressional text-message access

A four-page Justice Department letter released July 14, 2026 states that the Special Counsel investigative team directly accessed National Archives text-message spreadsheets involving 44 current or former members of Congress before the established filter-team review process was completed. The letter is an official source about process and records access; it does not by itself establish a criminal violation.

DOJ Pardon-Certificate Recipient List — Cleveland Meredith Verification Check

Verification record for the Office of the Pardon Attorney's January 6 certificate-recipient page, updated March 5, 2026. No Meredith entry was located. That absence does not establish that clemency was denied; it means public recipient-list confirmation and an individual certificate remain uncaptured.
