Results: Trump sues ex-spy over dossier, citing 'shocking and scandalous claims'

Former President Trump is suing the former British spy behind the controversial Steele Dossier that detailed intel on potential links between Trump and Russia, asserting the report contained “shocking and scandalous claims” that were false and harmful to the former president’s reputation. Trump’s lawyers filed suit in Britain against Orbis Business Intelligence, the company founded by Christopher Steele, a former MI6 agent who published a 35-page dossier including uncorroborated claims that Trump’s campaign and Russian agents conspired to influence the 2016 U.S. election, according to The Associated Press. Hugh Tomlinson, a lawyer for Trump who appeared before a judge at London’s High Court on Monday, alleged the company violated British data protection laws and has “suffered personal and reputational damage and distress” as a result. https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/4258189-trump-sues-steele-dossier/
