He has filed lawsuits against Yahoo and Huff Post for printing a story that said he was under investigation for meeting Russian officials who meddled in the election.
Yahoo “published a highly misleading article filled with false allegations.”
The article, headlined, “US intel officials probe ties between Trump adviser and Kremlin,” said that the officials were trying to determine if Page had private communications with senior Russian officials about possibly lifting economic sanctions if Trump became president.
The feds wanted to know if Page — founder of the investment and consulting firm Global Energy Capital — had met with Rosneft Oil Company CEO Igor Sachin, a Putin crony, and Igor Diveykin, a former Russian security official.
Intelligence officials believe that the pair were deeply involved in Russia’s interference in the election.
Page, who does business in Moscow, said his Russia trips were unrelated to his volunteer position advising Trump on foreign affairs, and that he never met with the two Russian men.
Page charged that Yahoo knew the information was wrong but published it anyway.
“They printed the allegations including those portions that falsely accused Dr. Page of participating in an alleged conspiracy to commit crimes against the U.S. Democratic Party’s Leadership, not to mention a conspiracy to undermine American democracy and the 2016 U.S. election,” t he suit states.
Page said the Yahoo article — written by veteran Beltway journalist Michael Isikoff — was based on dirt “marketed by the Clinton Campaign” and that he has received death threats since it was published.
The Huffington Post’s website was also named as a defendant because it ran a similar story several days later based on the Yahoo report.
The FBI has questioned him numerous times this year, and he has been one of the subjects of the feds Russia probe even before Robert Mueller was appointed special counsel to oversee it.
The suit, which names Oath Inc., the parent company of Yahoo and HuffPost, as a defendant, seeks more than $75,000 in damages.

Carter Page files defamation lawsuit against DNC, Perkins Coie
The lawsuit, which was filed in a federal Oklahoma court against the DNC, Perkins Coie, and Perkins Coie partners Marc Elias and Michael Sussmann, is about obtaining “justice,” Page said.
“It goes beyond any damages or any financial aspects,” Page told Fox News’ Sean Hannity Monday night. “There have been so many lies as you are alluding to, and you look at the damage it did to our democratic systems and institutions of government back in 2016. I'm just trying to get some justice in terms of getting some disclosure.”
Elias represented Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign, and hired Fusion GPS to conduct opposition research on Trump. Fusion GPS is the same firm that commissioned former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele who authored the so-called "Trump dossier" that contained scandalous and unverified claims about President Trump's ties to Russia and was used by the FBI to help obtain the authority to spy on Page.
According to the dossier, Page was the Trump campaign’s intermediary to Russia and proposed disclosing stolen DNC emails via WikiLeaks, among other claims. Page has vehemently denied the allegations about him in the dossier.
