Taking a break from squabbling with NATO leaders during a two-day summit in Brussels, President Trump on Thursday urged Attorney General Jeff Sessions to take action over a former FBI lawyer’s refusal to testify before Congress.

“As I head out to a very important NATO meeting, I see that FBI Lover/Agent Lisa Page is dodging a Subpoena & is refusing to show up and testify. What can she possibly say about her statements and lies,” Trump wrote on his Twitter account Thursday. “So much corruption on the other side. Where is the Attorney General?”

​House Republicans have threatened to charge Page with contempt after the former FBI lawyer defied a subpoena to testify before the House Judiciary and Oversight and Government Reform committees.

Lawmakers want to question her about possible bias in the Justice Department against the president after texts between her and FBI agent Peter Strzok revealed they exchanged anti-Trump messages during the 2016 election.

Her lawyer, Amy Jeffress, said Page didn’t appear Wednesday because the panel didn’t give her enough time to prepare and she’s seeking to reschedule her testimony.

Strzok and Page worked on the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails and special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe.

Page has since left the agency and Strzok, who is testifying to the panels Thursday, was reassigned.
