Lisa Page, the former FBI attorney whose anti-Trump text messages have fueled President Donald Trump's contention that the bureau's Russia investigation is a "witch hunt" against him, intends to defy a congressional subpoena demanding her testimony on Wednesday, Page's lawyer says.

Page's attorney, Amy Jeffress, said the House Judiciary Committee — which issued the subpoena on Saturday — failed to provide her with enough detail about the nature of lawmakers' questions and that the FBI had so far refused to provide key documents for her to review.

"As a result, Lisa is not going to appear for an interview at this time," Jeffress said in a statement.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) quickly issued a statement promising to use Congress' full arsenal of legal tools to compel Page's testimony.
