Summary

Story summary

The U.S. Department of Justice agreed to pay Carter Page $1.25 million to settle his PATRIOT Act claim.
The settlement resolves only that claim, which follows an inspector-general report that found 17 FISA errors and prompted the FBI to adopt more than 40 corrective steps.
Judge Dabney L. Friedrich dismissed the lawsuit in 2022, a decision the D.C. Circuit affirmed in 2024 because the statute of limitations barred the claims.
