Supreme Court declines ex-Trump campaign aide Carter Page's effort to revive lawsuit over FBI surveillance
The justices left intact rulings that Page filed too late, keeping only claims against former FBI officials over surveillance warrant applications.
- The Supreme Court declined on Monday to take up an appeal from former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page, effectively ending his long-running effort to sue high-ranking former FBI officials over flawed wiretaps.
- The justices rejected the appeal in a brief order without comment, leaving lower court rulings intact. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson did not participate in the high court's deliberations on the matter.
- Page’s lawsuit targeted individual former officials, including ex-FBI Director James Comey and former Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, over four warrants obtained under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act during the 2016 Russia probe.
- Lower federal courts had previously thrown out the suit on a timeline technicality, ruling that a three-year statute of limitations barred his claims because the clock began ticking well before he officially filed suit in late 2020.
- The decision follows a separate $1.25 million settlement reached in April, in which the Trump administration resolved Page's statutory claims against the U.S. government, leaving only the personal claims against individual investigators to be turned away by the high court.
