Trump's FBI brag backfires with judge

Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, two former FBI officials that were part of special counsel Bob Mueller's team before they were targeted by Trump over text messages disparaging his 2016 candidacy, will be allowed to depose Trump and FBI Director Christopher Wray for up to two hours as part of their lawsuit, U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson ruled, according to Politico.
