Embattled FBI agent Peter Strzok testified Wednesday in a closed-door session on Capitol Hill. It isn’t known what was said in the session but President Trump weighed in and he wasn’t happy.
According to Town Hall:
President Trump weighed in on FBI agent Peter Strzok’s closed-door testimony Wednesday before the House Judiciary and Oversight and Government Reform committees, saying he received “poor marks.”
“Lover FBI Agent Peter Strzok was given poor marks on yesterday’s closed door testimony and, according to most reports, refused to answer many questions,” Trump tweeted Thursday morning. “There was no Collusion and the Witch Hunt, headed by 13 Angry Democrats and others who are totally conflicted, is Rigged!”

Strzok appeared before lawmakers to face questioning over the numerous anti-Trump text messages he exchanged with FBI lawyer Lisa Page.
Strzok said he regretted the texts to Page, whom he was having an affair with, and that they were meant to be private, according to lawmakers. Strzok also said FBI agents regularly hold political opinions but that those beliefs don’t affect their decisions at work. But in one text message from August 2016, the agent told Page that “we’ll stop” Donald Trump from becoming president.
Strzok is under investigation to see if his bias contributed to the beginning of the Russia investigation. It will be interesting to see what the IG finds.
