A London judge has ordered former President Donald Trump to pay six figures in legal fees to a company he sued over a controversial dossier that made unverified and salacious allegations about him, according to court documents released Thursday.
After dismissing the former president’s case last month against retired British intelligence officer Christopher Steele and his company, Orbis Business Intelligence, Judge Karen Steyn has ordered Trump to pay £300,000 to the company, according to court documents. While Orbis Business Intelligence said that its total costs from the lawsuit were £636,356.66 , the company had asked for Trump to be ordered to repay £444,000 of that.
The uncorroborated claims first emerged in the so-called Steele dossier, which the former British spy secretly compiled on behalf of Trump’s political opponents in 2016, and became public just days before the former president’s inauguration in 2017. The dossier claimed that Trump conspired with the Kremlin to win the 2016 election and that Russia had compromising information on him.
