The Supreme Court declined to hear Carter Page’s appeal against James Comey and other FBI officials over the 2016 FISA wiretap tied to the Russia investigation, leaving lower-court rulings that the suit is time-barred by a three-year statute of limitations; Page had urged starting the clock from the 2019 inspector general report, but the Court issued a brief order with no comment.
The Supreme Court declined to revive Carter Page’s lawsuit against James Comey and other former officials over FBI surveillance, after Page had already settled related claims with the government for $1.25 million; the court did not provide an explanation for the denial.
The Supreme Court rejected Carter Page’s attempt to revive his lawsuit against James Comey and other FBI officials over the 2016 surveillance warrants, effectively closing the chapter on the case as the remaining FISA-based claims were time-barred and other claims had been settled.
The Justice Department reached a settlement with Carter Page, a former Trump campaign adviser tied to the Russia interference investigation, after Page alleged illegal surveillance based on flawed FISA warrant applications. The DOJ argued the warrants contained seven inaccuracies and omissions and that Page’s suit was time-barred, a ruling later upheld on appeal. The settlement was disclosed in a Supreme Court filing as Page pursued an appeal against other named officials like James Comey and Andrew McCabe. The DOJ noted the case signals a commitment to civil liberties, while earlier actions showed other politically charged suits from the Russia probe, though Mueller’s report did not establish conspiracy by Trump associates.
The Justice Department agreed to pay Carter Page $1.25 million to settle his lawsuit over FBI surveillance warrants used during the Russia investigation, after an inspector general report found multiple errors and material omissions in the four FISA applications.

The settlement follows other DOJ payouts to Trump allies, and the case references findings that the Steele dossier was misused and that an FBI lawyer (Kevin Clinesmith) altered an email, procedures that Horowitz criticized in his report.
The Trump administration agreed to a $1.25 million settlement with former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page over PATRIOT Act-based claims tied to FBI surveillance warrants in the 2016 Russia investigation; the deal does not resolve Page’s FISA claims or his allegations against individual FBI officials, and follows prior court rulings that limited his suit.
