"What she's saying: In her wide-ranging interview with the Daily Beast, Page said she was "overwhelmed by dread and embarrassment" about her "deeply personal secret" affair with Strzok being made public after being told by the DOJ Inspector General's office in July 2017 that she was under investigation for political text messages. She strongly rejects the claims.

It’s "very painful to see" places like the FBI and the Department of Justice failing to fulfill the "critical obligation that they have to speak truth to power," she said.

"[It’s] crushing to see the noble Justice Department, my Justice Department, the place I grew up in, feel like it’s abandoned its principles of truth and independence." Page called Trump's attacks on her "very intimidating because he’s still the president of the United States," she said, and revealed she decided to speak out after the president's "demeaning fake orgasm" impersonation of her at a Minneapolis rally in October that "was really the straw that broke the camel’s back."

•[W]hen the president accuses you of treason by name, despite the fact that I know there's no fathomable way that I have committed any crime at all, let alone treason, he's still somebody in a position to actually do something about that," she said. "To try to further destroy my life."
