Judge approves depositions for Trump, FBI Director Wray in suit from former officials

A federal judge on Thursday approved depositions for former President Donald Trump and FBI Director Christopher Wray as part of lawsuits from former FBI officials who investigated Trump.

Former FBI agent Peter Strzok and former FBI attorney Lisa Page became the subject of a public scandal following the release of text messages between the two, who were having an affair. The messages showed the pair discussing the investigation and making critical comments about the former president.

Strzok was fired from his post and is challenging that decision, while Page resigned and instead alleges that the administration targeted her for political reasons.

U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson granted two-hour depositions for both Trump and Wray, The Hill reported.
