Former FBI Agent Peter Strzok Settles Privacy Lawsuit with DOJ for $1.2 Million

Settlement addresses claims of privacy violations over leaked anti-Trump texts; Strzok's wrongful termination case remains ongoing.

Peter Strzok was fired from the FBI in 2018 after his private texts criticizing Donald Trump were leaked.
The settlement resolves the privacy violation claims but does not address Strzok's allegations of wrongful termination.
Lisa Page, who also exchanged texts with Strzok, settled her privacy lawsuit with the DOJ for an undisclosed amount.
Strzok's remaining lawsuit claims his firing was politically motivated and seeks reinstatement and back pay.
The Justice Department has not commented on the settlements.
