Former FBI lawyer Lisa Page is suing the Justice Department and the FBI for alleged privacy violations after her anti-Trump text messages were released to Congress and the public
Page alleges the agencies unlawfully provided her text messages with former FBI agent Peter Strzok to the media, according to the lawsuit. She is seeking financial damages of at least $1,000. "I sued the Department of Justice and FBI today," Page said in a tweet Tuesday."I take little joy in having done so. But what they did in leaking my messages to the press was not only wrong, it was illegal.
"They did so, the lawsuit says,"by summoning DOJ beat reporters to the Department to review the messages at night, prohibiting the reporters from copying or removing the set of messages from the building, and instructing them not to reveal DOJ as the source.""This clandestine approach is inconsistent with the disclosure of agency records for transparency purposes or to advance the public interest," Page alleges.
