A top FBI official told Congress this week that the bureau has not requested text messages between FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, who faced criticism after it was revealed they exchanged messages critical of President Trump.
Charles Thorley, the acting assistant director of the FBI’s Office of Congressional Affairs, said in a letter to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) this week that FBI employees are required to follow record-keeping policies when communications “constitute records under the Federal Records Act,” Fox News reported.
However, Thorley said that the FBI does not have to collect all communications between its employees.
