Carter Page filed the 59-page lawsuit in federal court in Washington, alleging he was surveilled illegally as part of special counsel Robert Mueller's probe into alleged collusion between the campaign and Russian actors.
Former FBI Director James Comey, former acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe, former FBI agent Peter Strzok, and former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith were among those named as defendants.
Clinesmith pleaded guilty this year to changing an email from the CIA that initially stated Page was an agency asset to say Page was not an asset.
Page told The Epoch Times that he supported the intelligence community for decades until they spied on him.
Whose firing in 2017 triggered Mueller's investigation, told lawmakers in September that he didn't know that Page was a CIA asset.
He claimed that there is not enough evidence to establish that Page worked for the agency, despite a CIA employee attesting that Page had. McCabe, who replaced Comey temporarily following the firing, told members of Congress earlier this month that he would not have signed Page's spy warrants, or Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act applications, if he knew the inaccuracies they contained.
Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham at the time asked, "Who is responsible for ruining Mr. Carter Page's life?".
