The Justice Department on Thursday gave Congress five months worth of text messages exchanged between Peter Strzok and Lisa Page-two FBI officials involved in the investigations into Hillary Clinton and President Donald Trump's campaign.
Approximately 300 messages were given to Congress, a Justice Department official told The Daily Caller News Foundation.
Strzok, the former deputy chief of the FBI's Counterintelligence Division, was removed from special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia team in July 2017 after the discovery of the text messages.
Strzok oversaw the FBI's Russia investigation when it began on July 31, 2016.
The congressional committees that received the text messages are likely to pour through them to find any information that might shed light on political bias from Strzok and Page as well as their thoughts on the Clinton and Trump investigations.
Some of the text messages released so far have drawn scrutiny from congressional Republicans.
One in particular is an Aug. 15, 2016, exchange in which Strzok referred to an "Insurance policy" he wanted in the event of a Trump election win.
