The Supreme Court on Monday declined to take up former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page’s attempt to revive a lawsuit against former FBI Director James Comey and other officials tied to the Crossfire Hurricane investigation, leaving lower court rulings in place.
The decision comes after the U.S. government reached a $1.25 million settlement in April resolving Page’s claims against federal entities. That agreement did not include individual FBI officials and covered only certain claims brought under the PATRIOT Act, not allegations under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).
Page, who served as an informal adviser during the 2016 Trump campaign, was subject to four FISA warrants issued during the Russia probe. A later Justice Department Inspector General review found the FBI made 17 “significant errors and omissions” in its FISA applications and criticized reliance on the now debunked “Steele dossier.”
Page filed suit in 2020 alleging unlawful surveillance based on misleading warrant applications. A federal district court dismissed the case in 2022, and the D.C. Circuit affirmed in 2025, citing statute of limitations grounds.
