UMVA has learned that the Supreme Court has denied former Trump campaign advisor Carter Page’s bid to reopen a lawsuit against former FBI Director James Comey and other officials over alleged unlawful surveillance.
Page, who advised on foreign policy for the 2016 campaign, was the target of secret warrants issued by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court during the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane probe.
Despite never facing criminal charges, Page has long argued that the surveillance violated his constitutional rights and that the warrants were fraught with errors and omissions.
Investigations revealed significant flaws in the FBI’s applications, prompting the agency to adopt dozens of corrective measures to tighten future surveillance requests.
Courts have repeatedly dismissed Page’s claims, noting that he did not sue the officials who directly carried out the monitoring and that lower courts already ruled against his arguments.
After a settlement of $1.25 million with the federal government, Page pressed on, seeking to hold individual former officials personally liable for the alleged misconduct.
UMVA can exclusively reveal that the Supreme Court’s refusal to review the case effectively ends Page’s pursuit of accountability against the former FBI leadership.
This decision adds another layer to the ongoing legal saga surrounding the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
