Former U.S. President Donald Trump has been ordered to pay legal fees to a company founded by a former British spy that he sued for making what he claimed were false claims that harmed his reputation
Former U.S. President Donald Trump has been ordered to pay a six-figure legal bill to a company founded by a former British spy that he unsuccessfully sued for making what his lawyer called “shocking and scandalous' false claims that harmed his reputation. A London judge, who threw out the case against Orbis Business Intelligence last month saying it was “bound to fail,' ordered Trump to pay legal fees of 300,000 pounds , according to court documents released Thursday.
The so-called Steele dossier assembled in 2016 created a political storm just before Trump's inauguration with rumors and uncorroborated allegations that have since been largely discredited. Trump sued the company, saying the the dossier was phony and Orbis had violated British data protection laws.
