U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson ruled this year that Trump could be deposed for two hours in the lawsuits brought by Peter Strzok and Lisa Page.
In its ruling, a three-judge panel rejected the government's effort to reverse a federal judge's order this yearThe panel's two Democratic appointees — Cornelia Pillard and J. Michelle Childs — said they wouldn't block the deposition. Karen Henderson, who was appointed to the circuit court by former President George H.W. Bush, sided with the Justice Department's request.
While in office, Trump was a frequent critic of Strzok and Page, who were taken off assignments in then-special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation after their text exchanges disparaging Trump became public in December 2017.
