The former US president, 77, is bringing a data protection claim against Orbis Business Intelligence.
Former US president Donald Trump, pictured on a visit to Trump International Golf Links & Hotel in Ireland, is bringing a data protection claim against Orbis Business Intelligence
Mr Steele, who previously ran the Secret Intelligence Service’s Russia desk, was the author of the so-called Steele dossier which included allegations Mr Trump had been “compromised” by the Russian security service, the FSB. “None of these things ever happened. All these false claims are made in the two memoranda which are the subject of this claim,” he continued.
The court heard Mr Trump accepts Orbis is not responsible for the publication of the dossier – as it was leaked to and published by BuzzFeed – but claims his data was processed by the consultancy. He said: “The claim for compensation is principally based on reputational damage allegedly suffered by the claimant.
The barrister later said Mr Trump’s case had been brought to pursue a “vendetta” against Orbis and Mr Steele.
