President Donald Trump has vented his fury at late Senator John McCain, following the release of newly declassified text messages from former FBI agent Peter Strzok indicating that McCain leaked the infamous 'dirty dossier' to legendary journalist Carl Bernstein.
'Check out last in his class John McCain, one of the most overrated people in D.C.' Trump tweeted late on Wednesday of the Arizona Republican who died of brain cancer in 2018, linking to a report on the new messages.
The text messages, released by Republican Senators Ron Johnson and Chuck Grassley on Wednesday, include a January 9, 2017 exchange between Strzok and Lisa Page, then the FBI lawyer with whom he was having an affair.
The dossier became a key piece of intelligence under-girding Strzok's 'Crossfire Hurricane' FBI probe into whether the Trump campaign colluded with Russia to interfere in the 2016 election.
Strzok, who also ran the FBI's 'Midyear Exam' probe into Clinton's private email server, later joined Special Counsel Robert Muller's team, along with Page.Both Strzok and Page left the FBI in disgrace after their secret love affair was discovered by supervisors.
The new text messages revealed on Wednesday also suggest that the FBI's Trump-Russia probe was opened earlier that has been officially admitted.
Durham's ongoing probe will investigate whether the FBI had legal predicate to open the Trump-Russia investigation.
