[Washington Examiner] Peter Strzok, a top FBI agent who came under fire after it was revealed he sent anti-Trump text messages, was subpoenaed by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., to appear before the Judiciary and Oversight committees on June 27 for a deposition.
Although Strzok’s lawyer said on Sunday that his client was willing to appear before members of Congress, Goodlatte warned a subpoena would be issued in the near future.
"He has now indicated that he would come voluntarily, but he has not pinned himself down on when. So we are imminently going to issue a subpoena for him to appear next week," Goodlatte said in an interview on Fox News earlier this week.
Strzok was a leading official in the FBI’s investigation on Hillary Clinton’s private email server. The appearance before panels is part of the committees' investigation into the Justice Department’s actions in 2016. |
