WASHINGTON (CBSNewYork/AP) – Yelling and chaos erupted at a House Judiciary Committee hearing Thursday as Republican lawmakers challenged FBI agent Peter Strzok over his text message saying “we’ll stop” the election of Donald Trump. Strzok testified publicly for the first time since being removed from special counsel Robert Mueller ‘s team, telling lawmakers that texts he traded with FBI lawyer Lisa Page in the run-up to the 2016 presidential election reflected personal views that he never once acted on. The interaction with Page fueled GOP suspicions of partisan bias over the course of the 2016 election and Hillary Clinton email investigatio n. “At no time, in any of those texts, did those personal beliefs ever enter into the realm of any action I took,” Strzok said. Strzok also said he had been advised not to answer specific questions about the on-going investigation into Russian election interference . That set off a testy back and forth between Democratic Rep. Jerrold Nadler of New York and Republican Chairman Bob Goodlatte of Virginia: Goodlatte: “Mr. Strzok, please be advised that you can either comply with the committee’s directive to answer the question, or refuse to do so. The latter of which will place you at risk of a contempt citation and potential criminal liability. Do you understand that?” Nadler: “Point of order Mr. Chairman.” Goodlatte: “The question is directed at the witness.” Nadler: “I have a point of order before he answers the question.” Goodlatte: “The point of order is not well taken.” Nadler: “You don’t know what the point of order is, you can’t say it’s not well taken.” Goodlatte: “The point of order, the witness will answer the question.” Nadler: “Mr. Chairman, I raise my point of order and I insist on it.” The Justice Department’s inspector general has criticized Strzok and Page for creating the appearance of impropriety through the texts. But the report said it found no evidence of political bias in the FBI’s decision not to pursue criminal charges against Clinton. Page, who has also been subpoenaed, is expected to speak to lawmakers at a private meeting Friday. (© Copyright 2018 CBS Broadcasting Inc. All Rights Reserved.

LANCASTER (CBSLA) — Will neckties become verboten in the city of Lancaster? Lancaster Mayor R. Rex Parris is expected at this week’s council meeting to ask the city attorney to look into the feasibility of forbidding city employers from requiring workers to wear neckties to work. As part of his proposal, Parris cited a new study that suggests wearing neckties may lower blood flow to the brain, potentially curbing creativity and analytical thinking. The study published in the journal Neuroradiology argues that restricting circulation by such an amount — researchers say around 7.5 percent on average — could be deadly for someone with high blood pressure. “I spend a lot of hours every week on an elliptical or a bike just to increase blood flow to my brain, and it turns out every morning when I put on a tie I’m diminishing it,” he said. Lancaster Mayor Rex Parris says he will continue to wear neckties as a litigator, but he wants to ease the rules for city employers. (Photo via City Of Lancaster) At a minimum, Parris said he wants wants Lancaster employers to make wearing ties to work optional, likening the tie requirement to making women wear high heels to the workplace. But Parris – who is himself a well-known litigator – said he continues to wear neckties because most courts require such attire in the courtroom. The mayor has asked the city’s Criminal Justice Commission to look into whether such a rule is practical since the proposal would result in infractions being issued to offending employers. 1945: A mustachioed man wearing a pin-striped business suit.
