US EditionJustice Department reaches $1.25 million settlement with Trump 2016 campaign aide over Russia probe
The $1.25 million deal resolves only Page’s PATRIOT Act claim, while his separate claims against ex-FBI officials remain unresolved, Justice Department filings said.
- On Wednesday, the Justice Department settled a lawsuit with former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page, agreeing to pay $1.25 million to resolve his PATRIOT Act claims against the federal government.
- Page, who served as a 2016 Trump campaign adviser, alleged he was the victim of "unlawful spying" and claimed the FBI made 17 "significant errors and omissions" in warrant applications during 2016 and 2017.
- The settlement resolves claims against the federal government but excludes Page's ongoing legal actions against former FBI Director James Comey and former Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, among other individual defendants.
- A Justice Department spokesperson stated the settlement "represents one of many initiatives to provide justice to those abused by rogue actors," citing commitment to dismantling the "weaponization of government."
- This settlement follows the Trump administration's roughly $1.2 million settlement last month with former national security adviser Michael Flynn, reflecting a broader pattern of legal resolutions during Trump's second term.
