In December 2021, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) reached a settlement with former FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, who were involved in a scandal regarding anti-Trump text messages. The two officials were criticized for showing political bias in the course of their work related to investigations into both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton during the 2016 election. The terms of the settlement, including any possible monetary amounts, have not been made public. Both Strzok and Page had separately sued the Department of Justice, claiming privacy violations after their text messages were disclosed to the media.
