President Donald Trump says a congressional hearing for an FBI agent removed from special counsel Robert Mueller's team should be shown to the public.

Peter Strzok is scheduled to talk to the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday behind closed doors. The panel subpoenaed him after an internal report from the Justice Department revealed new anti-Trump texts between Strzok and his colleague Lisa Page.

Trump tweeted Monday: "The hearing of Peter Strzok and the other hating frauds at the FBI & DOJ should be shown to the public on live television, not a closed-door hearing that nobody will see. We should expose these people for what they are - there should be total transparency!"

Both Strzok and Page also worked on Mueller's team for a period last year.
