Former high-level FBI attorney Lisa Page will testify before the House intelligence and oversight committees on Friday after lawmakers warned that if she defies their subpoena again, she’ll face a proceeding for contempt of Congress. Her last chance to show up is Friday, July 13, at 10 a.m., chairs of the committees stated in a July 11 letter. Her intent to submit to a closed-door deposition was conveyed to The Epoch Times by a spokesperson for her legal team on Thursday.
Page skipped a closed-door deposition she was supposed to give on July 11. Her lawyer, Amy Jeffress, said on July 10 that Page hadn’t been given enough time to prepare, hadn’t seen all the relevant documents, and hadn’t been given information about the scope of the questioning.
