after suing over 'dirty dossier' which claimed he took part in 'sex parties' and gave bribes to Russian officials
Donald Trump was ordered to pay six-figure legal costs to ex-MI6 agent Christopher Steele's company after suing over allegations which claimed he took part in 'sex parties' and gave bribes to Russian officials.
The former US president brought legal action against Orbis Business Intelligence, a consultancy founded by former MI6 officer Christopher Steele.
Mr Steele, who previously ran the Secret Intelligence Service's Russia desk, was the author of the so-called Steele dossier, which included denied allegations that Mr Trump had been 'compromised' by the Russian security service, the FSB.
At a hearing in London last year, the High Court was told Mr Trump was bringing a data protection claim over two memos in the dossier which claimed he had taken part in 'sex parties' while in St Petersburg and engaged in 'golden showers' with prostitutes in Moscow.
In a ruling last month, Mrs Justice Steyn threw out Mr Trump's case, finding his compensation claim was 'bound to fail'.
