President Joe Biden could decide whether former President Donald Trump will have to testify in a case involving the firing of two former FBI officials.
Former FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page were granted permission by U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson to take sworn testimony from Trump as part of a lawsuit regarding the pair's firing in 2018 after Trump publicly criticized the two over their private messages bashing him, according to Politico. Jackson also gave the two permission to obtain sworn testimony from FBI Director Christopher Wray. However, Jackson's order relies on Biden, who may invoke executive privilege over parts of Trump's testimony.
TRUMP MOTIONS TO HAVE E. JEAN CARROLL'S DEFAMATION CLAIM DISMISSED
The Department of Justice has one month to “inform the Court whether the current president will invoke … executive privilege” over Trump's testimony.
Trump may also appeal the ruling over his own claims of executive privilege, something Jackson has admitted he hasn't fully considered.

The two FBI agents claim Trump's public condemnation of them was related to Strzok's firing, something Trump and the FBI have rejected. The FBI said that the firing was made at the behest of career officials, not due to political pressure.
