Judge rules Trump can be deposed in lawsuit from ex-FBI agent Peter Strzok

Published Wed, 12 Feb 2025 07:35:40 GMT

(CNN) — A federal judge ruled Thursday that Donald Trump can be deposed in the lawsuit ex-FBI agent Peter Strzok brought against the Justice Department for his wrongful termination after the Russia investigation.In the lawsuit, Strzok alleges Trump’s political vendetta against him – whom Trump criticized in tweets – led to his wrongful termination, and that the Justice Department wrongfully released text messages he exchanged with former FBI lawyer Lisa Page. Page is also suing. Trump has denied wrongdoing.Judge Amy Berman Jackson agreed with the request to depose Trump.“Given the limited nature of the deposition that has been ordered and the fact that the former President’s schedule appears to be able to accommodate other civil litigation that he has initiated,” Jackson wrote in a brief order.The Justice Department has argued that Trump’s public attacks were not the reason for Strzok’s firing.In recent days, DOJ had sought to block Trump from being deposed, arguing in court that hi...

EU strikes tentative deal to boost local ammo production
