The top FBI agent explicitly named throughout the recent Justice Department inspector general report as having anti-Trump bias will voluntarily go before Congress.
In a letter sent Saturday and made public Sunday to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, the lawyer for Peter Strzok says he will voluntarily appear and testify before the panel, and “any other Congressional committee that invites him.â€
Aitan Goelman said the idea that Strzok would have to be subpoenaed to appear is “wholly unnecessary.â€
Politico reported Goodlatte, R-Va., had started the process at the end of the week to subpoena Strzok.
Strzok, a veteran counterintelligence officer, worked in a senior role on both the FBI’s investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server and special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation.
Strzok was removed from the Mueller probe after it was discovered he and his mistress, a former FBI lawyer Lisa Page, exchanged anti-Trump, pro-Clinton messages.
