President Trump lashed out at Lisa Page after the former FBI attorney insisted she didn't break the law during the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails
in a story published Sunday about her time in the bureau during the 2016 campaign and the early years of the Trump administration, and elaborated on the personal toll of the president’s persistent attacks.“It’s like being punched in the gut. My heart drops to my stomach when I realize he has tweeted about me again. The president of the United States is calling me names to the entire world. He’s demeaning me and my career. It’s sickening,” Page said.
“But it’s also very intimidating because he’s still the president of the United States,” she continued. “And when the president accuses you of treason by name, despite the fact that I know there’s no fathomable way that I have committed any crime at all, let alone treason, he’s still somebody in a position to actually do something about that. To try to further destroy my life. It never goes away or stops, even when he’s not publicly attacking me.
Page has been the subject of criticism from various White House allies, Republican lawmakers and conservative commentators since January 2018 for her extra-marital relationship with former FBI agent Peter Strzok and the politically charged text messages they exchanged during the Clinton probe. Page left the bureau in May 2018.
Strzok was also a key player in the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election and potential coordination between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin. Former special counsel Rober Mueller removed Strzok from his team of top investigators in July 2017 after Strzok’s texts with Page, which were critical of the president, came to light.
