(CNN) Peter Strzok, the fired former FBI agent who played a senior role in the early Russia-Trump campaign investigation, called President Donald Trump a national security threat in his new book, the New York Times reports. In the memoir, according to the Times, the investigations that Strzok oversaw showed the President's "willingness to accept political assistance from an opponent like Russia — and, it follows, his willingness to subvert everything America stands for." "That's not patriotic," Mr. Strzok writes in the book. "It's the opposite." Strzok claimed that his termination in August 2018 came because of political pressure on the FBI from Trump after he criticized the President and made political comments in text messages in 2016.
