"started the clock"
Goodlatte moves to subpoena FBI agent accused of anti-Trump bias
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte started the clock Friday on a procedure to subpoena Peter Strzok, the FBI agent accused by an internal Justice Department watchdog of harboring intense bias against President Donald Trump.
The Virginia Republican's move comes on the heels of a critical Justice Department inspector general report that delivered a harsh assessment of Strzok's animus toward Trump, revealed through private text messages to FBI attorney Lisa Page that were uncovered during the internal investigation.
Two sources briefed on subpoena effort indicated that Goodlatte has formally notified his Democratic counterparts of his intent to subpoena Strzok, a step that launches a two-day waiting period before he can officially issue the subpoena, under committee procedures.
Goodlatte's official notice to his colleagues points toward a subpoena being issued as early as next week.
