Former FBI official Peter Strzok is willing to testify voluntarily before Congress in an effort “to clear his name,” his attorney says.
“Special Agent Strzok, who has been fully cooperative with the [Department of Justice] Office of Inspector General, intends to voluntarily appear and testify before your committee and any other Congressional committee that invites him,” a lawyer for Strzok, Aitan Goelman, said in a letter sent Saturday to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte.
Goodlatte on Friday informed Democrats on the Judiciary committee of his plans to subpoena Strzok to testify before the panel about his role in both the Hillary Clinton email investigation and the Trump-Russia probe.
As the FBI’s deputy chief of counterintelligence, Strzok was the bureau’s lead investigator on “Crossfire Hurricane,” the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential campaign.
He was also one of the top investigators on the Hillary Clinton email probe.
Strzok worked on Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team until last July. He was removed from the investigation after the Justice Department’s inspector general discovered anti-Trump text messages that Strzok exchanged with FBI attorney Lisa Page.

A report from the inspector general released Thursday blasted Strzok and Page over their anti-Trump text messages.
The report revealed one text message that had not previously been released.
“[Trump’s] not ever going to become president, right? Right?!” Page wrote to Strzok in an Aug. 9, 2016 text message.
“No. No he’s not. We’ll stop it,” Strzok replied.
