Former FBI agent Peter Strzok deleted the entire contents of his X account on Monday, days after Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard released a memo and supporting documents referring to what she described as a “years-long coup” against President Donald Trump following his 2016 election victory over Hillary Clinton.

Gabbard, who served in Congress and now heads up the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, disclosed the materials on July 18 and formally referred them to the Department of Justice for criminal investigation.

The referral named several former officials, including former FBI Director James Comey and former CIA Director John Brennan, as potential subjects of a DOJ “strike force” review.

Strzok, who was a central figure in the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane probe, played a major role in the Bureau’s investigation into unfounded allegations that President Trump’s 2016 campaign colluded with Russia.

The recently released documents allege that Strzok intervened to prevent the closure of a separate investigation into retired Army Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, who briefly served as Trump’s national security advisor during his first term.

The deletion of Strzok’s posts from X follows Gabbard’s disclosure of intelligence records that outline interagency activity allegedly aimed at undermining Trump’s presidency from its outset.

Since his removal from the FBI, Strzok has taken on roles as an MSNBC contributor and an adjunct professor at Georgetown University.

On MSNBC, he has continued to defend the FBI’s Russia investigation and has remained critical of President Trump.

During a November 2022 appearance with host Nicolle Wallace, Strzok questioned the continued support for Trump, suggesting that Trump “very much aligns” with Russian strategic interests.

“I think the reality is, people are still around the world looking to the United States and trying to figure out, is this flirtation with Trump done?” Strzok said during the interview.

“Is Trump not only the individual, sort of national security problems he had, are there also problems that his mistrust of the NATO alliance, his coziness with people like Vladimir Putin, his hesitation to support Ukraine — all the things that from a strategic perspective Russia would want to pursue, Trump very much aligns with those.”

In May 2023, Special Counsel John Durham released a report concluding that the FBI “did not and could not corroborate” the allegations made in the Steele Dossier — a document central to the Russia investigation.

Page nine of the report noted that both Strzok and then-FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe “had pronounced hostile feelings toward Trump,” which were evidenced in text messages uncovered during the internal review.

Strzok was fired by the FBI on August 13, 2018, following the discovery of text messages between him and then-FBI attorney Lisa Page.

The messages revealed strong political bias against then-candidate Trump while the pair were both involved in the Bureau’s investigation into alleged collusion between Trump’s campaign and Russia.

The two were also engaged in an extramarital affair.

In a draft of Strzok’s termination letter, then-FBI Deputy Director David Bowdich wrote, “In my 23 years in the FBI, I have not seen a more impactful series of missteps which called into question the entire organization and more thoroughly damaged the reputation of the entire organization,” according to a report by the Washington Examiner.

Strzok’s full deletion of his public posts comes amid growing scrutiny over his role in the early stages of the Trump-Russia investigation, now further complicated by Gabbard’s public release of documents and calls for federal accountability.
