FBI/INVESTIGATIONS/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “Lisa Page, the former F.B.I. lawyer who became a frequent target of President Trump after criticizing him in text messages during his candidacy in 2016, ended nearly two years of public silence in an interview with The Daily Beast published on Sunday [12-1-19]. Since her text messages were made public in 2017, Ms. Page has often been singled out by Mr. Trump, who has brought up her name at political rallies and in dozens of tweets…Ms. Page, who worked for the F.B.I. on both the Clinton email and Russia investigations, criticized Mr. Trump during his candidacy in text exchanges with another bureau official, Peter Strzok, an agent with whom she was having an extramarital affair. The texts were released in December 2017. In them, Ms. Page and Mr. Strzok had expressed fear that Mr. Trump could win the presidential election.”
