Former Trump campaign official Carter Page announced on Monday a defamation lawsuit against the Democratic National Committee (DNC) over the salacious dossier that claims he has ties to Russia.
Page is also suing Perkins Coie and its partners, a law firm that represented Hillary Clinton’s campaign and hired Fusion GPS, an opposition research firm that hired former British spy Christopher Steele who compiled the unverified dossier concerning Trump, his associates, and Russia.
Page told Fox News’ “Hannity” on Monday that his lawsuit goes “beyond any damages or any financial aspects.”
“There have been so many lies as you’re alluding to and you look at the damage it did to our Democratic systems and our institutions of government back in 2016. And I’m just trying to get some justice,” he said.
The Steele dossier, which alleges ties between the Trump campaign and Russia, was predominantly funded by the DNC and the Hillary Clinton campaign.
