The Department of Justice settled with former FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page for a combined $2 million over the alleged violation of their privacy.
The Department of Justice has settled with two former FBI officials over violation of privacy rights. Former counterintelligence agent Peter Strzok and FBI lawyer Lisa Page filed suit against the Justice Department over the release of their text message conversations expressing contempt for former President Donald Trump. According to court documents reviewed by the Associated Press, Strzok settled his case for $1.2 million, while Page received $800,000.
While I have been vindicated by this result, my fervent hope remains that our institutions of justice will never again play politics with the lives of their employees,' Page said in a statement. Page's complaint also sought reimbursement for 'the cost of childcare during and transportation to multiple investigative reviews and appearances before Congress,' the 'cost of paying a data-privacy service to protect her personal information' and attorney's fees.
