The case was filed by former FBI counterintelligence official Peter Strzok and former FBI attorney Lisa Page, who were fired during the FBI&#8217;s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, which Trump won. The investigation revealed anti-Trump sentiments in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/new-details-about-elon-musk-and-amber-heards-relationship-revealed-during-defamation-trial\/\" title=\"New Details About Elon Musk And Amber Heard\u2019s Relationship Revealed During Defamation Trial\">text messages exchanged<\/a> between Strzok and Page.<\/p>\n<h3>Biden Administration Supports Trump<\/h3>\n<p>In a rare moment of solidarity, the Biden administration is supporting Trump in the case, even releasing the termination letter the FBI sent Strzok. Earlier this year, Judge Amy Berman Jackson ruled that Strzok had the right to interview Trump. However, Justice Department <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/kevin-clinesmith-altered-an-email-in-the-trump-russia-probe-to-keep-it-going-he-just-received-probation\/\" title=\"Kevin Clinesmith Altered An Email In The Trump-Russia Probe To Keep It Going. He Just Received Probation.\">prosecutors argued<\/a> that deposing Trump before Wray violated the standing precedent that federal officials are questioned in order of seniority.<\/p>\n<h3>Strzok and Page&#8217;s Claims<\/h3>\n<p>Strzok claims the FBI unjustly fired him for political reasons and seeks reinstatement into the agency. Page argues in her lawsuit that the text messages that caused their termination were unlawfully released and violated her privacy rights, leading to &#8220;frequent attacks by the President of the United States, as well as his allies and supporters.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Order of Depositions<\/h3>\n<p>Judge Jackson ruled in favor of the Justice Department&#8217;s request to depose Wray before Trump is questioned in the case. Prosecutors argued that deposing Trump before Wray violated the standing precedent that federal officials are questioned in order of seniority. Jackson ordered that the deposition of Wray proceed first, rendering the motion moot.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>The postponement of Trump&#8217;s deposition in the civil lawsuit filed by Strzok and Page has been granted, as Justice Department prosecutors were granted their request to depose FBI Director Christopher Wray first. The Biden administration is supporting Trump in the case, and Judge Jackson ruled in favor of the Justice Department&#8217;s request to depose Wray before Trump is questioned in the case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Justice Department prosecutors were granted a postponement of the deposition of former President Donald Trump in a four-year-old civil lawsuit filed by former FBI officials on Friday.
