Former FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page were involved in a “coup” against President Trump, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarty, R-Calif., said.

Thousands of Strzok and Page’s text messages have been revealed, including language that was very critical, dismissive, and in some cases profane about Trump, which have raised concerns about bias against the president. Last week Trump said he was the target of a “coup” that was bigger than the Watergate scandal.
