Trump Ordered to Pay $382,000 in UK Legal Fees Over Steele Dossier Case
The legal defeat adds to Trump's financial burdens amid his 2024 presidential campaign challenges.
- Donald Trump has been ordered to pay at least $382,000 in legal fees after losing a UK court case against Christopher Steele, the former MI6 agent behind the Steele dossier.
- The UK High Court judge dismissed Trump's data protection claim against Steele's company, Orbis Business Intelligence, as 'bound to fail'.
- The Steele dossier, published before Trump's 2017 inauguration, contained unverified allegations about Trump's ties to Russia, which he has denied.
- This legal defeat adds to Trump's financial burdens, as he has already been ordered to pay over half a billion dollars in legal penalties this year.
- Trump's legal challenges continue to mount amid his 2024 presidential campaign, including four criminal indictments and other civil losses.
