FBI agent Peter Strzok, whose controversial text messages with an ex-FBI lawyer exposed apparent wrongdoing inside the Department of Justice, is willing to testify before Congress, his lawyer said in a surprise letter Sunday.

Strzok's announcement comes just days after DOJ inspector general Michael Horowitz released his report on the DOJ's handling of the Hillary Clinton email investigation, which Strzok helped lead.

What are the details?

According to the Washington Post, Strzok's attorney, Aitan Goelman, sent House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) a letter Sunday revealing his client is ready to tell his side of the story and potentially "clear his name."

Goelman said Strzok is willing to testify without immunity and would not invoke his Fifth Amendment rights in response to any question from a member of Congress. He also said Strzok is willing to testify before any committee that requests him.

"He thinks that his position, character and actions have all been misrepresented and caricatured, and he wants an opportunity to remedy that," Goelman said.

"Pete is central to this story. We should let the American people see who he really is," he added in comments to CNN.

According to Politico, Goodlatte had started the process to subpoena Strzok, but Goelman said the move is no longer necessary.

Anything else?

Strzok was thrust back into the spotlight last week after the IG report revealed he told his lover, then-FBI lawyer Lisa Page, in Aug. 2016 that "we'll stop" Trump from becoming president.

Strzok, in addition to being a key agent in the FBI's Clinton investigation, was also a lead agent in special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation before being removed last year when the internal DOJ watchdog discovered his anti-Trump text messages.
