Two senior FBI officials involved in the special counsel’s investigation into possible collision between Donald Trump’s presidential campaign and Russia mocked the Republican candidate and expressed their extreme dislike for him.
The remarks were made in text messages between a top counterintelligence agent, Peter Strzok, and Lisa Page, a senior FBI lawyer, several media outlets report.
The pair, who also criticized Hillary Clinton and the Obama administration, described the prospect of a Trump presidency as “terrifying.”
The text messages, which were sent to lawmakers Tuesday night as part of an ethics investigation by the Justice Department’s inspector general, included insults aimed at Trump, calling him him an “idiot,” “awful” and a “loathsome human.”
Strzok has been removed from the special counsel’s team after the text messages surfaced.
Republicans are using the text messages to attack the credibility of the investigation led by Robert Mueller.
