Trump brought suit against firm over allegations in dossier written by Christopher Steele, but claim was thrown out

Donald Trump has refused to pay £290,000 ($360,000) in legal fees after his English lawsuit against a private investigations firm was dismissed, a court in London has heard. Trump brought a data protection lawsuit against Orbis Business Intelligence over allegations in a dossier written by its co-founder, Christopher Steele, but his claim was thrown out in February last year.

The Steele dossier alleged ties between Trump’s 2016 election campaign and Russia as well as other salacious allegations, all of which Trump denied.
