The Department of Justice’s (DOJ) latest appeal to block former President Donald Trump from being deposed in a lawsuit against the agency was rejected (pdf) when the D.C. Appeals Court ruled, as a lower court did in July, that the former president could testify.
Former FBI agent Peter Strzok sued the agency, alleging wrongful termination, and former FBI personnel Lisa Page is suing the agency, alleging invasion of privacy. The two were spotlighted in the “Russiagate” scandal, where the agency investigated ties between the former president and Russia in the 2016 elections and ultimately could not bring charges. Text messages between Mr. Strzok and Ms. Page were publicized, revealing their bias against the then-presidential candidate.
