Overview

• Peter Strzok and Lisa Page allege their privacy was violated when the DOJ leaked their text messages to the media in 2017.
• The leaked messages, criticizing Donald Trump, led to Strzok's firing and Page's resignation from the FBI.
• Strzok's additional lawsuit claims his termination was due to pressure from Trump and alleges First Amendment violations.
• The settlement will resolve Page's claims but not Strzok's demands for backpay and reinstatement.
• The DOJ has previously justified the release of the texts, stating they were also shared with Congress.
