The Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear an appeal from former Donald Trump adviser Carter Page, who alleged that he was illegally investigated in a probe into the 2016 Trump campaign’s ties to Russia.
None of the justices noted any objection to the denial of Page’s petition. The rejection appeared on the court’s order list, a document that announces the latest action in pending appeals. As usual, the court did not provide any explanation for the denial. The justices deny review of most of the petitions they receive.
In Page’s rejected petition, his lawyers said that warrants the FBI obtained from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to investigate him “contained multiple errors, omissions, and misstatements” and that agents leaked information about the surveillance to the press. Page sued former FBI Director James Comey and others he said were involved in the surveillance or disclosure.
The legal issue Page raised in his petition centered on timing. He argued that the lower courts applied too strict a standard against him when they said he waited too long to bring his claim. The Trump Justice Department said in April that Page’s petition against the government was moot because of a then-recent settlement it had reached with the Trump ally.
