Supreme Court Declines to Revive Carter Page Lawsuit Against James Comey

The U.S. Supreme Court declined to revive Carter Page’s lawsuit against former FBI Director James Comey. The lawsuit had alleged wrongdoing by Comey related to the 2016 election. Page served as an adviser to President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign. Earlier in April, the Justice Department agreed to pay Page $1.25 million. The payment was to settle other claims brought by Page against the department. The settlement resolved those claims without further court action. With the Supreme Court’s refusal, the lower‑court dismissal of the suit stands. The outcome leaves Page without a chance to seek damages from Comey.
