A defiant Peter Strzok said the scrutiny he is facing over his anti-Trump text messages amounts to "Just another victory notch in Putin's belt," according to the FBI official's remarks prepared to be delivered before House committees Thursday morning.
Strzok, who is slated to testify in a public hearing before the House Judiciary Committee and House Oversight Committee Thursday, has been in political crosshairs for months over revelations of anti-Trump text messages exchanged with his lover, and former bureau colleague, Lisa Page.
The latest text, which was revealed in the inspector general's report on the FBI's handling of the Clinton email investigation, showed Strzok vowing to "Stop" Trump from becoming president.
GOP leaders are expected to grill Strzok over the slew of Trump-bashing texts he exchanged on his FBI phone while he worked on bureau investigations into Russian election meddling and Hillary Clinton's email sever.
Strzok was on Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team until the text messages were discovered.
In his opening statement though, Strzok maintains that while his criticisms of Trump were "Blunt," there is "Simply no evidence of bias in my professional actions."
"I have the utmost respect for Congress's oversight role, but I truly believe that today's hearing is just another victory notch in Putin's belt and another milestone in our enemies' campaign to tear America apart," Strzok wrote.
