Trump may be questioned in lawsuits by ex-FBI employees Strzok and Page

Here is the judge's order

MINUTE ORDER. For the reasons stated on the record at the hearing on February 23, 2023, the 75 Defendants' Motion to Quash Subpoena and for a Protective Order barring plaintiff Strzok's proposed deposition of FBI Director Christopher Wray on the basis of the apex doctrine, and the Defendants' Motion to Quash Subpoena and for a Protective Order, filed in the related case, 22-mc-27, also based on the apex doctrine, related to the subpoena issued by plaintiff Strzok to former President Donald J. Trump, were DENIED in part. The Court authorized the plaintiffs to conduct depositions of each witness that do not exceed two hours and are limited to the narrow set of topics specified on the record at the hearing. Today's ruling addressed the apex doctrine issues only and did not resolve any questions related to either the Presidential communications prong or the deliberative process prong of the executive privilege. For the reasons stated on the record, the government must inform the Court whether the current President will invoke the executive privilege with respect to the specified topics by March 24, 2023. Also, for reasons stated on the record at the hearing, the Court resolved several discovery disputes, and a status report on the state of discovery is due on March 13, 2023. The hearing was conducted under seal, but in accordance with the Court's 2/21/2023 Minute Order, and with the consent of the parties, the transcript of the proceedings will be unsealed with the limited exception of those portions of the apex doctrine discussion that made reference to sealed deposition testimony, and the portions of the hearing related to discovery disputes. SO ORDERED. Signed by Judge Amy Berman Jackson on 2/23/2023.(lcabj1)

A federal judge on Thursday ordered that former president Donald Trump and FBI Director Christopher A. Wray can be questioned under oath by attorneys for two former senior FBI employees who allege in separate lawsuits that they were illegally targeted for retribution after the FBI investigated Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election.

Strzok seeks reinstatement and back pay over what he alleges was his unfair termination for criticizing Trump, who was then in office.
