The Supreme Court decided on Monday not to revive Carter Page’s lawsuit against former FBI officials. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson recused herself from the decision. This decision effectively puts an end to Page’s efforts to hold individual FBI leaders accountable for mistakes related to the Russia investigation. With this ruling, Page has no more legal options, concluding the case against former officials such as James Comey. The outcome affirms the lower court’s decision that his claims were filed too late.

The justices issued a brief, unsigned order rejecting Page’s appeal, allowing a federal appeals court decision to stand. This court had determined that a three-year statute of limitations blocked his claims. Page argued that the timeline should have begun in 2019, when a Justice Department inspector general reported significant issues in the FBI’s surveillance process. He filed his lawsuit in 2020, but the courts did not agree with his timeline.

Justice Jackson did not participate, and the Court provided no reason for her recusal, which aligns with their typical practice.
