Supreme Court Declines Carter Page's Surveillance Lawsuit

The U.S. Supreme Court has refused to hear Carter Page's appeal to revive his lawsuit against former FBI officials over alleged unlawful surveillance during the 2016 Trump campaign. Page claims the FBI improperly obtained warrants, but the case was dismissed due to filing beyond the statute of limitations.

The U.S. Supreme Court has opted not to intervene in Carter Page's legal battle, as he seeks to reignite a lawsuit targeting former FBI officials over alleged unlawful surveillance during the 2016 presidential campaign of Donald Trump.

Earlier decisions from lower courts had dismissed Page's claims, centering around the assertion that the FBI improperly obtained warrants to surveil him as part of their investigation into Russian interference. Page, an adviser to the Trump campaign, contended these actions constituted unlawful spying.

The Trump administration previously settled part of Page's lawsuit, paying $1.25 million, but claims against individuals persist. The Supreme Court's decision comes after the D.C. Circuit upheld dismissing Page's lawsuit due to a late filing, tied to when Page first learned of the surveillance in 2017.
