  • A federal judge has dismissed Peter Strzok's claims that his firing from the FBI was illegal due to disparaging text messages about President Donald Trump.
  • U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson ruled that the FBI's need to avoid bias in investigations was more important than Strzok's free speech rights.
  • The Justice Department stated that Strzok was fired for misconduct involving politically charged messages on his FBI phone.
  • Strzok, who denies that his opinions affected his work, had previously settled claims regarding leaked texts meant to suggest anti-Trump bias at the FBI.
