A defamation lawsuit was filed by former Trump aide Carter Page against the Democratic National Committee in Oklahoma.
The suit, which revolved around the infamous dossier compiled by former British intelligence agent Christopher Steele, alleged that the DNC paid for the dossier as part of opposition research that made "extremely malicious and destructive falsehoods" about him.
Page made a number of charges in the lawsuit, including that the DNC's actions constituted as "act of terrorism" and racketeering.
Page’s suit claims that those individuals gave information reporters about Page's dealings with Russia. He blamed the DNC for the public release of the dossier, which alleged ties between the Trump campaign and Russian officials.
The dossier was used in part to help launch the investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election, a probe led by speical counsel Robert Mueller.
