Supreme Court won’t revive ex-Trump aide’s suit over secret surveillance during Russia investigation
The Supreme Court refused to revive a lawsuit from Carter Page, an aide to President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign, who alleged unlawful surveillance by FBI officials during the Russia investigation. Page settled with the U.S. for $1.25 million but sought to continue legal action against former officials, which was dismissed by lower courts due to procedural issues. A government watchdog criticized the surveillance applications, and the FBI acknowledged flaws but stated corrective measures were taken.
