Carter Page, President Trump’s former campaign adviser, filed a lawsuit in federal court last week against the Democratic National Committee, the law firm for Hillary Clinton’s campaign hired, Perkins Coie, and its partners connected to the unverified Steele dossier that served as the basis for the controversial surveillance warrants against him.
Attorney John Pierce filed the suit in U.S. District Court in the Northern District of Illinois’ Eastern Division Thursday morning he described as the “first of multiple actions in the wake of historic” Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) abuse.
Page said, “This is a first step to ensure that the full extent of the FISA abuse that has occurred during the last few years is exposed and remedied. Defendants and those they worked with inside the federal government did not and will not succeed in making America a surveillance state.”
Page’s attorney promised this was only the “first salvo” in what he believes ensures “The rule of law will prevail.”
DNC spokeswoman Adrienne Watson retorted, “Carter Page’s baseless claims are recycled from his previous lawsuit, which was dismissed last year.”
The suit alleges Page was “wrongfully and covertly surveilled” and “has seen his reputation ruined and his personal safety threatened” due to what Page has described as an illegal abuse of the FISA court system.
