Statement by Josh Pitcock
April 26, 2019
My wife and I have served our nation in different capacities for more than a decade. I
worked for Mike Pence, and she continues to work for the FBI. In the summer of 2016,
Mike Pence was picked by Donald Trump to be his Vice Presidential-nominee. Up until
that time my wife had been working on the FBI counter-intelligence investigation of
Hillary Clinton’s email server. However, when Mike Pence was chosen as the VPnominee, she was recused from all work touching on the 2016 presidential campaign or
candidates. Her recusal continued after the campaign ended, through the Transition
and during the Administration, and she was not a part of any counter-intelligence
division activities having to deal with Russia or the President.
With regard to the reference in the texts between Peter Strzok and Lisa Page about
“Katie’s husband,” to be very clear, I have no knowledge of what Strzok and Page were
discussing or why. I had no contact with either Strzok or Page during the 2016
campaign, the Transition, or while serving at the White House. I took zero actions on
their behalf. There was no infiltration through me or my wife. Any assertions or
speculation to the contrary is unfounded, uninformed and 100% false.
During the entire time I worked for President Trump, Vice President Pence and their
Administration I was 100% loyal, dedicated and determined every day to do my best to
advance their agenda.
My wife is a dedicated professional who loves the Bureau and her country. That she
has been named publicly and subjected to scrutiny and false allegations when she did
nothing wrong is unconscionable.
