In an action she says was sparked by President Trump supposedly acting out a “demeaning fake orgasm” when referencing her at a rally in October, former FBI lawyer Lisa Page, whose anti-Trump text messages with her paramour former FBI agent Peter Strzok made national headlines, has filed a lawsuit against the bureau and the Justice Department for what she clams is “unlawful disclosure of information about her to the media, in violation of the Privacy Act.”

“Honestly, his demeaning fake orgasm was really the straw that broke the camel’s back,” Page told The Daily Beast earlier this month in explanation for why she was planning to file a lawsuit against her former employer. “I had stayed quiet for years hoping it would fade away, but instead it got worse. It had been so hard not to defend myself, to let people who hate me control the narrative. I decided to take my power back.”
