Trump hits back at former FBI lawyer Lisa Page after she breaks silence over president's ‘sickening’ attacks on her

Donald Trump has attacked former FBI lawyer Lisa Page after she broke her nearly two-year public silence following the release of text messages between her and a former agent that were critical of the president.

"When Lisa Page, the lover of Peter Strzok, talks about being 'crushed', and how innocent she is, ask her to read Peter’s 'Insurance Policy' text, to her, just in case Hillary loses", the president wrote on Twitter. "Also, why were the lovers text messages scrubbed after he left Mueller."

He added: "Where are they Lisa?"

Mr Trump has long claimed the text messages between Ms Page and Peter Strzok were evidence of political bias in the bureau's investigations into interference in the 2016 election. The former FBI lawyer testified in a closed-door hearing to House investigators in July of last year.
