A federal judge ordered Thursday that former President Donald Trump can be questioned in sworn testimony by attorneys for ex-FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page as part of their lawsuits related to the government's disclosure of their private text messages.
Trump and current FBI Director Christopher Wray can each be deposed for two hours on a "narrow set of topics" that were hashed out during a sealed hearing earlier in the day, Judge Amy Berman Jackson wrote in an order in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C.
But there are still some lingering questions about executive privilege to be resolved, the judge noted. She gave the Department of Justice until March 24 to specify whether President Joe Biden will invoke executive privilege over the specified topics.
An attorney for Page declined to comment. A lawyer for Strzok did not immediately respond to CNBC's questions about the judge's order.
Trump regularly attacked Strzok and Page starting in 2017, following the revelation that the pair sent anti-Trump texts while they were employed by the FBI and having an affair.
Strzok, at the time a top FBI counterintelligence official, was removed from a DOJ probe of Russian election meddling following then-special counsel Robert Mueller's discovery of his texts. Strzok was fired in 2018.

Amy “Commie” Berman Jackson, one of Obama’s pet stooges on the US District Court for the District of Stooges...
Strozk and Page should be in jail. Calling a former President Trump to testify as a government defense witness is an outrage.
Commie Berman Jackson passed out prison sentences to the January 6th protestors with glee.
Put on TV!
Judge Amy Berman Jackson is subject to no law but her own.
Why would President Trump also have unresolved questions about Executive Privelege?
He was President whan this all happened.
Discovery
The way this court is treating executive privilege is exactly the opposite of the way I learned it and litigated it about 10 yrs ago. It was applicable to all govt. Executive officers (Presidents, Governors, etc.) both current and former. The reasoning being that who would want to serve in those offices if everything you said or did or contemplated in the decision making process is public record free to be questioned? Nothing would ever get done. Why would anyone want a job like that?
Ummmmm...private text messages are sent on PERSONAL cell phones, not government issued WORK PHONES!

Burn on it!

AMY BERMAN JACKSON
Every ruling she’s ever made goes against Trump
She condemned members of Trump’s staff before a single piece of evidence was presented - in the Fake Russian Hoax Persecutions.
.
Page and Strzok should be in prison for Treason - this is upside down.
Unbelievable that these two lowlifes are suing the government for exposing their own inappropriate use of work phones.
The judge should have thrown the suit out.
Amy Berman Jackson is one of the most political and corrupt judges in the nation.
Two corrupt individuals making use of our judicial system.
P
“Judge” Amy Berman Jackson is a well known puppet of Odungo. She was specifically chosen for this lawsuit because of her deep prejudice against Trump and conservatives in general. Trump needs a change of venue. Otherwise, this is just a laughable parody of justice in a kangaroo court.
I sincerely hope she meets a horrible end.
