May 29, 2024, 02:07 AM

Former FBI agent Peter Strzok and former bureau lawyer Lisa Page have reached a tentative settlement with the Department of Justice (DOJ) over allegations that their privacy was violated when their anti-Trump text messages were leaked to the media. The settlement addresses claims that the Trump administration's Justice Department breached the Privacy Act by releasing their texts. The two had early roles in the Trump-Russia probe. While Page's lawsuit would end with this settlement, Strzok's broader case concerning his firing will continue.
