Ex-FBI lawyer Lisa Page hits back at Donald Trump, calling president’s ‘fake orgasm’ stunt the last straw
- Release of anti-Trump text messages between her and then FBI agent Peter Strzok landed Page in president’s crosshairs
- Her comments come just ahead of planned release of Justice Department report on how FBI conducted its investigation into Russian interference in 2016 election
The lone tweet appeared Sunday night on a profile bearing the name of former FBI lawyer Lisa Page.
“I’m done being quiet,” the tweet read.
In the roughly two years since Page made national headlines after politically charged text messages between her and then senior FBI agent Peter Strzok were released, the lawyer has refrained from publicly addressing the events that catapulted her into the centre of a political firestorm and made her a repeated target of President Donald Trump’s ire.
Now, in a wide-ranging interview, Page slammed Trump for his “sickening” attacks against her and revealed how she has struggled to keep her life together.
“I had stayed quiet for years hoping it would fade away, but instead it got worse,” Page, 39. told the Daily Beast in her first public interview, published on Sunday. “It had been so hard not to defend myself, to let people who hate me control the narrative. I decided to take my power back.”
