The inspector general of the president’s own Justice Department concluded the texts were missing due to technological glitches; 20,000 were recovered.
As President Donald Trump raged against “angry Democrats” in a tweet Saturday, he repeated a lie that 19,000 FBI texts had been deliberately deleted and were missing. More than 20,000 texts lost in a technological glitch were recovered, which was clearly stated in a report early this month by the Office of the Inspector General in Trump’s own Justice Department.
“All Texts Demanded!” Trump tweeted, claiming the “Mueller Angry Democrats” for “recently deleted approximately 19,000 Text messages” between former FBI agent Peter Strzok and his girlfriend, FBI lawyer Lisa Page. “This is a total Obstruction of Justice,” he added.
Strzok was fired in August for derogatory comments about Trump he sent to Page, who resigned in May.
More than 19,000 texts were found to be missing during the investigation into the communication between the two. But the OIG determined that the texts were missing due to technological glitches in the FBI’s data-collection tool and not because of malicious intent. There was “no evidence” that Strzok and Page “attempted to circumvent” the FBI’s data-retention policies, the report concluded.
There was no mention of deliberate deletion by “the Mueller Angry Democrats.”
More than 20,000 texts were recovered, according to the OIG report.
