FBI’s Peter Strzok gets blasted during House hearing, the latest on NATO and more

WASHINGTON, DC - JULY 12:  Deputy Assistant FBI Director Peter Strzok speaks during a joint committee hearing of the House Judiciary and Oversight and Government Reform committees hearing in the Rayburn House Office Building on Capitol Hill July 12, 2018 in Washington, DC. While involved in the probe into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server in 2016, Strzok exchanged text messages with FBI attorney Lisa Page that were critical of Trump. After learning about the messages, Mueller removed Strzok from his investigation into whether the Trump campaign colluded with Russia to win the 2016 presidential election.Ê  (Photo by Mark Wilson/Getty Images)

FBI’s Peter Strzok gets blasted during House hearing, the latest on NATO and more

Another day, another fracas on the Hill.

Republicans are threatening FBI agent Peter Strzok with contempt for refusing to answer questions at his hearing before the House Judiciary and Oversight committees. Strzok oversaw the beginning stages of the Russia investigation and is accused of allowing political bias to influence his handling of the probe.

Today’s hearing may go down as the rowdiest House hearing ever with a contentious back and forth between Strzok and GOP members. We also roundup other political news and get the latest on President Donald Trump’s NATO announcements, what to watch for during his trip to the United Kingdom and more.
