President Trump on Wednesday claimed without evidence that former special counsel Robert Mueller “terminated” records of communications between FBI agents who exchanged text messages during the campaign and Mueller’s investigation.
Republicans say the texts show that Peter Strzok, the deputy assistant director of counterintelligence, and Lisa Page, an FBI attorney who was romantically involved with Strzok, were biased against Trump. The president charged in a tweet last year that “19,000 demanded Text messages between Peter Strzok and his FBI lover, Lisa Page, were purposely & illegally deleted,” a claim that was debunked by Politifact.
Trump’s comments come a day after Mueller agreed to testify before the House Judiciary and Intelligence Committees on July 17 in an open session.
