Special counsel Robert Mueller fired an FBI agent from his team investigating Russian interference in the presidential elections, after the agent was found sending pro-Clinton and anti-Trump text messages to his mistress.

The recently released news of the firing (which occurred months ago) has brought attention to the FBI agent, Peter Strzok, as well as the several key investigations of which Strzok was a part, and the possibility that Strzok’s political interests compromised the credibility of the investigations.
