Former FBI lawyer Lisa Page sues FBI and Department of Justice, alleging her privacy was violated by the release of texts she exchanged with former FBI agent Peter Strzok.
Lisa Page, the former FBI lawyer who became embroiled in the Russia probe, sued the FBI and Department of Justice on Tuesday, alleging her privacy was violated by the release of texts she exchanged with former FBI agent Peter Strzok.Donald TrumpIn the lawsuit, Page alleges the FBI violated the Privacy Act by disclosing"a 90-page document reflecting 375 text messages between Plaintiff and another FBI employee—to a group of reporters," the suit says.
"On information and belief, DOJ and/or FBI officials disclosed the messages to reporters for multiple improper reasons, including to elevate DOJ’s standing with the President following the President’s repeated public attacks of the Department and its head, Attorney General Jefferson B. Sessions III," the suit says.
As Page notes in the lawsuit, the inspector general found that he found no political bias in the origins of the Hillary Clinton email investigation. On Monday, the Department of Justice inspector general report released Monday has determined the FBI's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. election was launched with an authorized purpose, despite significant allegations of wrongdoing in how agents handled the counterintelligence probe of the Trump campaign.
