Trump-hating FBI agent Peter Strzok was “smug” and “defiant” in his Wednesday interview with lawmakers according to Congressional sources who were present.

Strzok appeared voluntarily to Capitol Hill on Wednesday as a way to evade a subpoena and gave a closed-door deposition.

Strzok was not under oath.

Instead, he refused to answer many many questions because the FBI counsel in the room instructed Strzok to be vague, Chairman Goodlatte previously said.

Embattled FBI official Peter Strzok was “smug” and “laughed off” questions during his closed-door congressional interview this week, though also told lawmakers he regrets sending the anti-Trump texts that made him the poster child for bureau bias, congressional sources tell Fox News.

Strzok spoke behind closed doors before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, in his first congressional appearance following revelations of numerous anti-Trump messages he exchanged with bureau colleague Lisa Page during the 2016 campaign.

“Strzok was smug, defiant, and laughed off a lot of questions,” one congressional source told Fox News following the interview. The source also echoed earlier reports that Strzok refused to answer some questions on the advice of counsel.

Another congressional source, though, told Fox News that Strzok “said he regretted sending the texts.”
