Case Summary

This case is related to the Civil Rights Litigation Clearinghouse's coverage of the Carter Page Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrants. For more information on litigation to disclose the warrants that inspired this case, please see this link. For a summary of the warrants and information on ongoing efforts by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) to protect the confidential information in them, see this link. The FISA requires the government to obtain a warrant from…

The FISA requires the government to obtain a warrant from the FISC before it may conduct any domestic electronic surveillance to acquire foreign intelligence information. The warrant applications are made ex parte and must include a sworn statement by a federal officer of the facts and circumstances relied upon to justify the government's belief that the target of surveillance is a foreign power or an agent of a foreign power. Once a FISC judge receives a warrant application, the judge can order approval of the surveillance only if the judge finds that there is probable cause to believe that the target of the electronic surveillance is a foreign power or an agent of a foreign power. Because the orders only authorize surveillance up to 90 days, the government must file an application for an extension that meets the same requirements as the initial warrant application and obtain a renewal order from the FISC for continued surveillance. For the Civil Rights Litigation Clearinghouse collection of FISA matters, see our special collection.

On November 27, 2020, an informal foreign policy advisor to the Trump 2016 presidential campaign, represented by private counsel, filed this complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. He sued the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the United States, and former DOJ officials that sought the warrant against him in their individual capacities. He alleged violations of his right to be free of unreasonable searches and seizures due to improperly filed FISA warrants against him. He sought $75 million in compensatory damages, punitive damages, injunctive relief to amend government records about him, and attorneys' fees for both this case and a previous, failed Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request related to the suit. Page filed this case under FISA (50 U.S.C. §§ 1801-1812) for each FISA warrant and renewal sought against him, Bivens, the Federal Tort Claims Act (28 U.S.C. § 2674), and the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a). The plaintiff added that, at the time of filing, he had an active administrative claim under the Patriot Act pending before the DOJ, and if this claim was unsuccessful, he would add that to this complaint.

In his complaint, the plaintiff alleged that the government did not have probable cause to obtain a FISA warrant against him, because the information upon which the warrant was based came from one unreliable confidential source. He argued that the FBI and all of the agents involved in procuring this warrant were aware, either in an investigative or supervisory capacity, of the deficiencies in the source's testimony and did not follow up with relevant sub-sources to confirm the source's allegations. The plaintiff stated that the defendants still sought the warrants anyway, even after interviews with the plaintiff in connection to the warrant failed to establish probable cause that he was acting on behalf of a foreign power to sabotage the United States, the key preliminary findings needed to grant a FISA warrant. He added that the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) and subsequent FBI investigations found that the FISA warrant against Page and each of its renewals were unlawfully obtained.

The case was assigned to Judge Kentaji Brown Jackson on November 30, 2020. On April 15, 2021, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint, with the defendants filing motions to dismiss the amended complaint in mid-May. A seconded amended complaint was filed on June 8, mooting the pending motions to dismiss. The amended complaint corrected some of the material facts and added an additional claim arising under the Patriot Act, asserting that the defendants’ willful violation of the FISA Act entitled the plaintiff to commence an action against the United States to recover money damages. In June, Judge Jackson was elevated to the D.C. Circuit and the case was unassigned. In mid-September, 2021, the defendants filed motions to dismiss or, in the alternative, for partial summary judgment.

With the defendants’ motions pending, the case was reassigned to Judge Florence Y. Pan in early October. Judge Pan announced on October 27, however, that she would recuse herself because of her longtime friendship with an attorney for one of the defendants. The case was reassigned to Judge James E. Boasberg, who recused himself the following day, citing his extensive involvement with the matter while a judge on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. Ultimately, the case was reassigned to Judge Dabney L. Friedrich.

As of March 25, 2022, the case is ongoing with the motions to dismiss still pending before the court.
