Former senior FBI agent Peter Strzok and Bureau lawyer Lisa Page have reportedly reached an agreement with the Justice Department over their lawsuit regarding the Department leaking personal text messages between the two during the Trump administration, the Washington Post reports. Details of the settlement were not released.
The lawsuits, originally filed in 2019, alleges the Trump Administration ordered the release of the text messages which showed the pair were having an affair, in an attempt to undermine the FBI investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. The messages also show they both disliked Trump, a fact that furthered Trump desire to appear as a target of the Deep State.
