Trump Loses Again As Judge Tosses Steele Dossier Lawsuit

It's official. A U.K. judge has just made Donald Trump's losing streak international after tossing out a lawsuit the former President filed against Orbis Business Intelligence, a British firm co-founded by Christopher Steele, a former MI6 intelligence officer. Trump would have liked to win against Steele since he oversaw the Russia desk for Britain's secret intel service before retiring in 2009 and founding Orbis.

This is the same Christopher Steele who compiled the salatious Steele Dossier. For example, it said that Trump ordered prostitutes to pee on a Moscow hotel bed once slept in by Mr. and Mrs. Obama. Democrats had paid Steele to compile research on Trump's ties to Russia.

Time reports:

The lawsuit alleged that Orbis Intelligence had violated British data protection laws by compiling a 35-page dossier of information suggesting that Trump had engaged in sexual activity with prostitutes while visiting Russia, giving the Russian government material to blackmail him with. The allegations made in the dossier have not been substantiated by any external sources. The dossier was leaked and published by BuzzFeed in 2017.
