Former FBI lawyer Lisa Page decided to open up about her career and life after President Trump mocked her and former FBI special agent Peter Strzok at an October rally.
A political firestorm ignited around Page and Strzok after anti-Trump text messages the two exchanged in 2016 and 2017 were made public. In the texts, the FBI officials were critical of Trump and revealed that they, each with a family of their own, had had an affair with each other. Page was a member of the FBI’s team investigating the Trump campaign for alleged collusion with Russia to impact the 2016 election.
In an interview published on Sunday, Page, 39, said she was motivated to open up after Trump acted out an orgasm between her and Strzok at the October rally in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
“Honestly, his demeaning fake orgasm was really the straw that broke the camel’s back,” Page said.
“I had stayed quiet for years, hoping it would fade away, but instead it got worse,” she continued. “It had been so hard not to defend myself, to let people who hate me control the narrative. I decided to take my power back.”
At the October rally, Trump criticized Page and Strzok and mocked their relationship.
“I love you, Peter. I love you too, Lisa. Lisa, I love you. Lisa! Lisa! Oh God, I love you Lisa. If [former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton] doesn’t win, Lisa, we’ve got an insurance policy, Lisa. We’ll get that son of a bitch [Trump] out,” Trump said, making up an exchange between Page and Strzok.
