A report by the Justice Department watchdog issued on Dec. 13 shows that someone wiped the data on the smartphones assigned to notorious FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page during their work for the Russia probe by special counsel Robert Mueller.
After the appointment of the special counsel in May 2017, Strzok and Page—who had an extramarital affair—joined Mueller’s team. Both worked on the investigation briefly, with Page leaving on May 28, 2017, and Strzok being removed in late July.
