Supreme Court Denies Carter Page's Appeal on FISA Surveillance Errors

• •The Supreme Court rejected Carter Page's appeal regarding FISA surveillance errors.
• •Page's lawsuit involved former FBI officials and was dismissed due to a statute of limitations.
• •The case highlights ongoing concerns about FISA surveillance practices and accountability.

The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to hear an appeal from Carter Page, a former Trump campaign adviser, regarding alleged improper FISA surveillance during the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. Page's lawsuit targeted former FBI officials, including James Comey and Andrew McCabe, claiming that the wiretaps were based on flawed procedures. The lower courts dismissed his claims, citing a three-year statute of limitations. Page argued that the statute should start from the 2019 DOJ Inspector General report that identified errors in the FISA warrant process. The Supreme Court's refusal to hear the case leaves unresolved questions about FISA surveillance accountability. Page was never charged with any crimes, despite being monitored due to his connections to Russia. The Trump administration previously settled part of Page's litigation in April 2026. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson did not participate in the case.
