U.S. Pays Carter Page $1.25 Million Over FBI Wiretap Flaws
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. Page, who was never charged, was at the center of political controversy surrounding the investigation. 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.
