Former Donald Trump campaign aide Carter Page is accusing the Department of Justice (DOJ) of “Orwellian overreach” in how it responded to his lawsuit, claiming the agency delayed its findings, according to court papers filed Friday.
“On Monday, this Court confirmed that Article II authorities do not have subjects, bound by loyalty or blood, whose destiny they are entitled to control,” Page says in a court filing. “But characteristic of the Defendant’s Orwellian overreach, DOJ has instead continued to exercise an even greater level of absolute control entailing life-threatening damages against the Plaintiff, stemming from the United States Government’s incessant violations of the Privacy Act of 1974 and other alleged criminal activity.”
