President Donald Trump criticized former FBI Deputy Assistant Director Peter Strzok and his mistress, former FBI attorney Lisa Page, on Sept. 13 as an “embarrassment” to the FBI and DOJ, after newly leaked text messages between the two showed that government officials were “leaking like mad” to damage the president.

After Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) revealed in a letter that Strzok and Page had discussed a “media-leak strategy,” a new batch of communications between Strzok and Page was selectively leaked to Fox News and investigative reporter Sara Carter. A spokesman for Meadows didn’t respond to a request from The Epoch Times for the full text of the communications or the context of the exchange between Strzok and Page.
