Biden DOJ helps Trump by blocking Strzok’s efforts to force deposition

Published



The Biden Justice Department has blocked a subpoena to depose former President Donald Trump sent by Peter Strzok, who sued the FBI for wrongful termination after the emergence of his anti-Trump texts.

Strzok filed a civil lawsuit against then-Attorney General William Barr, FBI Director Chris Wray, and the bureau in August 2019, claiming he was wrongfully terminated in 2018 after the discovery of anti-Trump texts with former FBI lawyer Lisa Page, with whom he was romantically involved. He played a key role in opening the Crossfire Hurricane investigation in 2016 and interviewed retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn in January 2017.
