根据周三提交给美国最高法院的文件,美国司法部已就前特朗普竞选团队顾问卡特·佩奇提起的诉讼达成和解。佩奇因2016年因与俄罗斯方面的联系而遭受的不当政府监控起诉司法部和联邦调查局。

佩奇曾是调查俄罗斯干预2016年美国总统大选期间的重点调查对象,他是越来越多在特朗普第二任期内与本届政府达成法律和解的前特朗普盟友之一。

2016年,调查人员通过《外国情报监控法》对佩奇进行了窃听,这是联邦调查人员在涉及外国关联案件中使用的一项备受争议的调查手段。一份监察长报告显示,获取监视佩奇的搜查令的程序充满了失误和错误。

由于佩奇作为竞选顾问的工作以及与俄罗斯政府的联系,调查人员在调查特朗普竞选团队与俄罗斯之间可能存在的勾结时,希望对佩奇进行监控。

佩奇起诉了司法部、联邦调查局以及包括前局长詹姆斯·科米、前高级反情报官员彼得·斯特佐克和前联邦调查局律师凯文·克莱因史密斯在内的多名前联邦调查局官员。克莱因史密斯因篡改与外国情报监控法庭申请书相关的电子邮件而被定罪。

佩奇的诉讼指控其宪法权利受到侵犯,索赔7500万美元损害赔偿,但最初被一名联邦法官驳回,法官部分认定佩奇并未起诉实施监控的相关人员。上诉法院维持了这一判决。

此次提交的文件并未透露和解的具体条款。CNN已联系佩奇和司法部寻求置评。

特别检察官罗伯特·米勒的最终报告指出,佩奇在竞选活动开始前至少与两名“俄罗斯情报官员”有接触,2016年夏天他前往莫斯科并发表演讲“批评美国政府对俄外交政策”,还与克里姆林宫官员就特朗普竞选团队相关事宜进行了交流。

基于这些与俄罗斯的关联,再加上臭名昭著的特朗普-俄罗斯档案中的其他未经证实的信息,联邦调查人员请求外国情报监控法庭允许他们对佩奇进行了约一年的窃听。司法部后来承认,前两份搜查令是合法的,但最后两份搜查令没有法律依据。

“此次和解不涉及原告针对个别被告的索赔,”文件中写道。

此次和解并非特朗普政府首次就2016年俄罗斯干预大选调查相关诉讼达成和解。

上个月,特朗普领导的司法部与迈克尔·弗林达成诉讼和解,向他支付了超过100万美元,以了结他所称的不当起诉。

弗林起诉政府索赔5000万美元,指控联邦调查局在特朗普政府初期试图诱捕他。

弗林诉讼中的指控源于2017年12月提起的一起刑事案件——也就是特朗普就职的第一年。在该案中,弗林承认就其与当时的俄罗斯大使的交流向联邦调查局撒谎,还在司法部关于其游说公司为土耳其开展工作的披露文件中作假。

他当时同意配合调查,并协助特别检察官罗伯特·米勒拼凑出多起后来被指控特朗普试图阻挠调查的事件。

不过,就在即将被宣判前,弗林要求撤回认罪请求。司法部后来提出撤销对他的指控,特朗普也对他进行了赦免。

另外,据CNN周五报道,特朗普的律师正与美国国税局和财政部进行磋商,以解决他针对这两个机构的100亿美元诉讼。该诉讼指控两机构在他第一任期内未经授权泄露其税务信息。

Trump administration settles lawsuit with ex-Trump adviser Carter Page

The Justice Department has reached a settlement in a lawsuit brought by former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page, who sued the DOJ and FBI for over flawed government surveillance he faced due to his Russian contacts in 2016, according to a filing with the Supreme Court Wednesday.

Page, who investigators focused on during their probe into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, is one of a growing number of past Trump allies who have reached legal settlements with the administration during Trump’s second term.

In 2016, investigators wiretapped Page through the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, a hotly debated probing tool federal investigators use with cases involving a foreign nexus. An inspector general report said the process used to obtain the warrant to monitor Page was riddled with mistakes and errors.

Because of his work as a campaign adviser and connections to the Russian government, investigators wanted to monitor Page as they probed potential collaboration between the Trump campaign and Russia.

Page sued the Justice Department and FBI and an array of ex-FBI officials, including former Director James Comey, former top counterintelligence official Peter Strzok, and former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith, who was convicted of doctoring an email related to the FISA application.

Page’s lawsuit for violating his constitutional rights – seeking $75 million in damages – was initially tossed by a federal judge, who found in part that Page had not sued the people who had conducted the surveillance. An appeals court upheld that decision.

The filing did not outline the terms of the settlement. CNN has reached out to Page and the Justice Department for comment.

Special counsel Robert Mueller’s final report highlighted Page’s pre-campaign contacts with at least two “Russian intelligence officers,” a trip he took to Moscow in summer 2016 where he gave a speech that “criticized the U.S. government’s foreign policy toward Russia” and his interactions with Kremlin officials where the Trump campaign was discussed.

Based on these Russia ties, plus other unverified information from the notorious Trump-Russia dossier, federal investigators asked the FISA court let them to wiretap Page for roughly one year. The DOJ later conceded that while the first two warrants proper, but the final two warrants were not legally supported.

“The settlement does not involve petitioner’s claims against the individual defendants,” the filing says.

The settlement is not the first the Trump administration has reached in lawsuits related to the 2016 Russia probe.

Last month, Trump’s Justice Department settled a lawsuit with Michael Flynn, awarding him over a million dollars following what he said was a wrongful prosecution.

Flynn sued the government for $50 million, alleging that the FBI tried to entrap him in the early days of the Trump administration.

The accusations in Flynn’s lawsuit stemmed from a criminal case brought in December 2017 – during Trump’s first year in office. In the case, Flynn admitted to lying to the FBI about his interactions with the Russian ambassador at the time as well as lying in a Justice Department disclosure over his lobbying firm’s work for Turkey.

He agreed at the time to cooperate in the investigation, and helped special counsel Robert Mueller piece together several instances where it was later alleged Trump attempted to obstruct the investigation.

Just before he was set to be sentenced, though, Flynn asked to drop his guilty plea. The Justice Department later moved to drop the case against him and he was pardoned by Trump.

Separately, lawyers for Trump are engaged in discussions with the IRS and the Treasury Department in an effort to resolve his $10 billion lawsuit accusing the agencies of an unauthorized leak of his tax information during his first administration, CNN reported Friday.
