FBI's Peter Strzok Fired After Months of Republican Attacks
-----------------------------------------------------------

In news from Washington, FBI deputy assistant director Peter Strzok has
become the third high-ranking FBI official fired since Trump's
inauguration. Strzok had faced months of Republican criticism after the
publication of text messages he wrote in 2016 criticizing then-candidate
Donald Trump. Strzok was involved in the FBI investigation of Hillary
Clinton's emails and Robert Mueller's probe into Russian meddling in the
2016 election.
