Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., asked FBI agent Peter Strzok to read texts he sent to his alleged mistress, Lisa Page. In the texts, Strzok calls Trump a “douche” and an idiot. The questioning was part of an ongoing hearing Thursday in a joint committee hearing in the House called “Oversight of FBI and DOJ Actions Surrounding the 2016 Election.”
