华盛顿讯——美国最高法院周一驳回了前特朗普竞选助手卡特·佩奇的诉求，他试图重启针对前联邦调查局局长詹姆斯·科米及其他联邦调查局高级官员的诉讼，该诉讼围绕联邦调查局在调查俄罗斯干预2016年美国总统大选期间获取的监听令展开。
美国最高法院驳回此案之前，特朗普政府于今年4月表示已与佩奇达成125万美元的和解协议。佩奇此前就下级法院驳回其针对司法部、联邦调查局及包括科米在内的8名个人被告的诉讼提起上诉。
司法部的和解协议仅涉及佩奇针对美国政府的诉求，并不包含针对联邦调查局个别官员的指控。该协议也仅适用于佩奇根据《爱国者法案》提出的一项主张，不包括其指控违反《外国情报监控法》（即FISA）的诉求。
佩奇在2016年总统竞选期间曾担任特朗普总统的非正式外交政策顾问。作为联邦调查局调查俄罗斯干预此次大选以及特朗普竞选团队与俄罗斯所谓关联的一部分，联邦调查局依据《外国情报监控法》获取了四项针对佩奇的电子监听令，其中一项于2016年10月签发，另外三项于2017年签发。
司法部内部监察长对联邦调查局处理针对佩奇的监听令申请情况进行了审查，发现联邦调查局在2016年的初始申请及三项延期申请中存在17处“重大错误和疏漏”。监察长特别批评联邦调查局依赖前英国情报官员克里斯托弗·斯蒂尔撰写的一系列反对研究备忘录。这份所谓的“斯蒂尔档案”包含了针对时任总统候选人特朗普的低俗且未经证实的指控。
联邦调查局后来承认，本应更早结束对佩奇的监听。
佩奇于2020年11月提起诉讼，称其监听行为非法，因为监听申请存在虚假和误导性内容。但在2022年，美国地区法官达布尼·L·弗里德里希驳回了佩奇的诉讼，美国哥伦比亚特区巡回上诉法院于2024年维持了该判决。
哥伦比亚特区巡回法院裁定，诉讼时效已过，佩奇针对联邦机构和联邦调查局人员的主张不受法律保护。
Supreme Court declines ex-Trump campaign aide Carter Page’s effort to revive lawsuit over FBI surveillance

Washington — The Supreme Court on Monday turned away ex-Trump campaign aide Carter Page’s attempt to revive a lawsuit against former FBI Director James Comey and other senior FBI officials over surveillance warrants obtained by the bureau during its investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.
The Supreme Court’s denial of the case came after the Trump administration said in April it had reached a $1.25 million settlement with Page. He had appealed a lower court decision dismissing his lawsuit against the Justice Department, FBI and eight named individuals, including Comey.
The Justice Department’s settlement involved only Page’s claims against the U.S. government, not the individual FBI officials. The deal also pertained only to a claim he raised under the PATRIOT Act, and not those alleging violations of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISA.
Page served as an informal foreign-policy adviser to President Trump during his 2016 presidential campaign. As part of the FBI’s investigation into Russian meddling in that election and alleged ties between the Trump campaign and Russia, the bureau obtained four warrants under FISA to electronically surveil Page, including one in October 2016 and three others in 2017.
The Justice Department’s internal watchdog examined the bureau’s handling of the applications to obtain the warrants to monitor Page and found that the FBI made 17 “significant errors and omissions” in its initial application in 2016 and the three renewal requests. In particular, the inspector general criticized the FBI for its reliance on a set of opposition research memos prepared by ex-British intelligence officer Christopher Steele. The so-called “Steele dossier” contained salacious and unproven allegations about then-candidate Trump.
The FBI later acknowledged it should have ended its surveillance of Page earlier.
Page filed his lawsuit in November 2020, alleging that his surveillance was unlawful because the warrant applications were false and misleading. But in 2022, U.S. District Judge Dabney L. Friedrich dismissed Page’s lawsuit, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia affirmed that decision in 2024.
The D.C. Circuit ruled that the statute of limitations barred Page’s assertions against the federal entities and FBI personnel.
