Court Keeps Page Suit Dismissed

The Supreme Court left Carter Page's claims against James Comey and other former FBI officials dismissed after a separate $1.25 million federal-government settlement over related surveillance claims.

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