The Justice Department has agreed to pay a total of $2 million to settle legal claims brought by former FBI counterintelligence agent Peter Strzok and former FBI attorney Lisa Page over the DOJ's release of text messages the pair exchanged. The agreement ends a lawsuit Page brought, but does not fully resolve Strzok's separate suit, allowing him to continue to press his claims that he was fired in order to please then-President Donald Trump.

On Friday, Strzok's lawyers announced his $1.2 million agreement as attorneys for both sides notified a federal judge in Washington that the privacy-focused portion of that dispute was resolved.
