Hearing begins at 10AM EST:
Live Coverage: Peter Strzok Questioned by Members of Congress
House lawmakers are poised to question Peter Strzok on Thursday in what is sure to be a lengthy, tense standoff between Republicans and the FBI agent who once worked on special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian interference.
Strzok has been in Republicans' sights for several months after a Justice Department inspector general investigation revealed that he exchanged text messages before the 2016 election that were critical of Donald Trump with Lisa Page, a former FBI lawyer with whom he was having an affair at the time.
Mueller promptly removed Strzok from the Russia investigation when the messages were revealed, but Republicans have zeroed in on him as key to uncovering what they allege was systemic FBI bias against Trump during the election. Democrats, meanwhile, have cast the effort as a politically-driven charade.
Lawmakers questioned Strzok behind closed doors late last month now, those on the House Oversight and Judiciary Committees will have the opportunity to question him publicly.
Strzok is under subpoena to testify before the committees in the public hearing.
Strzok plans to call scrutiny another notch in Putins belt
8:30 a.m.
Strzok reportedly plans to tell lawmakers that the focus on his anti-Trump text messages is aiding Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The Associated Press, which reviewed prepared remarks Strzok is expected to deliver, reported that the FBI agent will defend himself against the intense scrutiny from GOP lawmakers by saying his work has been free of political bias.
Let me be clear, unequivocally and under oath: not once in my 26 years of defending my nation did my personal opinions impact any official action I took, Strzok will say, according to the AP.
He is expected to tell lawmakers that Congresss focus on his actions and text messages is just another victory notch in Putins belt and another milestone in our enemies campaign to tear America apart.

THIS is the face of the Swamp. THIS is the arrogance of the Deep State. THIS is why @realDonaldTrump is President.
Im enjoying looking at that very handsome young man behind Strzok.
Their taxpayer-paid attempt to strip potential Mueller defendants of the right to the presumption of innocence is oh-so-biased and.. and .. un-American.
Oops, hes gone.
