Strzok, Page Settle DOJ Text Message Case

Former FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page have reached a $2 million settlement with the Department of Justice (DOJ) over the public release of their anti-Trump text messages from 2015 and 2016, which allegedly violated their privacy rights. Strzok will receive $1.2 million while Page will get $800,000. The settlement resolves their privacy claims but does not admit government liability. Strzok's separate lawsuit alleging his dismissal was politically motivated and violated his constitutional rights remains ongoing. Strzok and Page's texts had sparked controversy and were used to question the impartiality of investigations involving Donald Trump. Both officials were removed from their positions, with Strzok being fired and Page resigning amid the scandal.
