- Frame 1Supreme Court rejects Carter Page's FBI-warrant appeal, keeping dismissed claims against Comey and former FBI officials closed.
- Frame 2$1.25M settlement covered Page's federal-government claims in April, but not individual claims against former FBI officials.
- Frame 3The lawsuit targeted FISA surveillance warrants from the FBI's 2016 Russia investigation into Trump campaign contacts.
- Frame 4Justice's inspector general found 17 significant errors and omissions in the Page warrant applications.
- Frame 5Lower courts had rejected claims against DOJ, the FBI, Comey and seven other former FBI officials.
- Frame 6The denial leaves the lower-court dismissal in place and the April federal settlement as Page's practical remedy.
