London high court dismisses Trump’s Steele dossier lawsuit
A London Judge Dismisses Trump’s Privacy Lawsuit Against Christopher Steele
A London judge has dismissed former President Donald Trump’s privacy lawsuit against former British spy Christopher Steele. In the lawsuit, Trump accused Steele of making ”false and scandalous claims” in a dossier. However, British Judge Karen Steyn stated that there were “no compelling reasons” to proceed with the trial.
Trump had allowed many years to pass without taking legal action to “vindicate his reputation in this jurisdiction” since he became aware of the dossier’s existence in January 2017. The lawsuit, filed in October, focused on a 35-page dossier containing unverified allegations about Trump and the 2016 presidential election. This dossier was used by the FBI in its investigation into Russia’s alleged links to the election.
Steyn clarified that she did not assess the accuracy of the memoranda when making her ruling, but she believed that Trump’s claim for damages was ”bound to fail.” Orbis Business Intelligence, Steele’s consultancy company, expressed its delight with the ruling, despite believing that the case should not have been filed. Orbis claimed that the dossier was never intended for public release and that Buzzfeed published it without their permission.
Trump’s campaign stated that it would continue to “fight for truth” against Steele and Orbis, but did not specify how it would do so. Trump’s spokesman, Steven Cheung, criticized Steele and his group for their “false and defamatory allegations” in the fake dossier. Cheung emphasized that President Trump would persist in his pursuit of truth and combat falsehoods propagated by Steele and his associates.
How has Trump’s campaign responded to the dismissal of the lawsuit and what actions do they plan to take in order to challenge Christopher Steele and Orbis
A London judge has dismissed former President Donald Trump’s privacy lawsuit against former British spy Christopher Steele. The lawsuit, which accused Steele of making false and scandalous claims in a dossier, has been thrown out by British Judge Karen Steyn who stated that there were no compelling reasons to proceed with the trial.
The lawsuit, which was filed in October, centered around a 35-page dossier that contained unverified allegations about Trump and the 2016 presidential election. This dossier was famously used by the FBI in its investigation into Russia’s alleged links to the election. However, Trump had allowed many years to pass without taking legal action to vindicate his reputation in this jurisdiction since he became aware of the dossier’s existence in January 2017.
Judge Steyn made it clear that she did not assess the accuracy of the memoranda when making her ruling. However, she believed that Trump’s claim for damages was “bound to fail.” Steele’s consultancy company, Orbis Business Intelligence, expressed its delight with the ruling, despite believing that the case should never have been filed. Orbis claimed that the dossier was never intended for public release and that BuzzFeed published it without their permission.
In response to the dismissal, Trump’s campaign stated that it would continue to fight for truth against Steele and Orbis, but did not specify how it would do so. Trump’s spokesman, Steven Cheung, criticized Steele and his group for their false and defamatory allegations in the fake dossier. Cheung emphasized that President Trump would persist in his pursuit of truth and combat falsehoods propagated by Steele and his associates.
This ruling marks a setback for Trump, who has sought to challenge the veracity of the dossier in question. Despite the dismissal of his privacy lawsuit, it remains to be seen how Trump will continue to pursue legal action or defend his reputation against the claims made in the dossier. Only time will tell if this battle for truth will ever truly be resolved.
