DOJ Reveals Rod Rosenstein Approved Release Of Strzok-Page Messages

In 2017, Rod Rosenstein approved the release of text messages between FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, which were critical of Donald Trump. This led to Strzok's removal from the FBI, while Page had already left. Both sued the DOJ, claiming a Privacy Act violation. Rosenstein argued the release was justified as the messages were on government phones, intertwined with FBI work, and not too personal. He noted the documents would have been public soon due to a congressional release. Page responded on Twitter, anticipating Rosenstein's deposition.
