The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear Carter Page’s appeal, effectively ending his lawsuit against former FBI official
Carter Page, a former foreign policy adviser to Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign, had sued former FBI Director James Comey and other officials over alleged violations of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), claiming the FBI relied on flawed warrant applications to monitor him during the Crossfire Hurricane investigation
. The Justice Department inspector general later found significant errors and omissions in the FISA applications, though no political bias was determined
Page initially filed his lawsuit in 2020 seeking $75 million in damages, arguing that the surveillance violated his constitutional rights and harmed his reputation
. Lower courts dismissed the claims against individual officials, ruling that Page had filed too late, a decision upheld by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit
. Page contended that the statute of limitations should have started in 2019, when the inspector general report revealed the FISA errors, but courts disagreed
In April 2026, Page reached a $1.25 million settlement with the federal government, resolving claims against the U.S. government itself, but leaving personal claims against individual officials unresolved
. The Supreme Court’s brief, unsigned order on June 15, 2026, denied his appeal without explanation, with Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson recusing herself
. This decision leaves the lower court rulings intact and closes Page’s remaining legal avenues against the former FBI officials
While the ruling ends Page’s personal legal challenge, it does not address broader political debates surrounding the Russia investigation. Page was never charged with a crime, and the surveillance represented only a small part of the larger inquiry, which concluded that Russia interfered in the 2016 election but did not establish a criminal conspiracy with the Trump campaign
. The case remains significant as a legal chapter in the ongoing discussion about accountability for government officials involved in national security decisions.
