Donald Trump has been ordered to pay more than £620,000 in legal costs following the dismissal of a data protection lawsuit against Orbis Business Intelligence. The lawsuit was filed in response to allegations detailed in the Steele dossier, suggesting Trump engaged in inappropriate activities while in Russia. The judge emphasized that the cost was justifiable and that Trump's claims lacked substantive proof, leading to a decision preventing him from further contesting the matter. The ruling reflects the broader controversy surrounding unsubstantiated claims in the dossier, which many believe have been largely discredited.
Trump brought the claim aiming to disprove allegations in the Steele dossier regarding sexual acts in Russia; however, a judge ruled against him and ordered him to pay significant legal fees.
Mrs Justice Steyn dismissed Trump's claims, emphasizing that the allegations related to the Steele dossier lacked substantiation, and found the cost ordered reasonable and proportionate.
