statement that trump had the irs and other federal agencies investigate two federal officials involved into the case of his campaign ties to russia. quote, president trump questioned whether investigations by the internal revenue service or other federal agencies should be undertaken into mr. strzok or ms. page. i do not know of mr. trump ordering such an investigation. it appeared, however, that he wanted to see mr. strzok and ms. page investigated. kelly s statement was filed thursday in connection with lawsuits, lawsuits we have covered on this program, brought by mr. strzok who was the lead russia investigation and lisa page against the justice department for violating their privacy rights. that s when the trump administration made public text messages between them. like so much of what we now know about the trump presidency, this revelation was found, where do you think? in notes taken by one of his own staffers, likely sitting in front of the resolute desk, listening to
