Strzok was the Chief of the Counterespionage Section and led the FBI's investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of a personal email server.[4][5]
In June and July 2017, Strzok worked on Robert Mueller's Special Counsel investigation into any links between Donald Trump's presidential campaign and the Russian government.[6] Mueller removed Strzok from the Russia investigation when Mueller found out of criticisms of Trump in personal text messages between Strzok and a colleague.[7][8]
