Former FBI agent Pete Strzok has reached a settlement with the Justice Department over his claims that his privacy rights were violated, according to his lawyers.

Strzok and his lawyers argued the DOJ violated his protected free speech by releasing text messages he exchanged with then-FBI lawyer Lisa Page that contained his political opinions about former President Donald Trump.
