Trump lawsuit over ex-MI6 spy's 'dirty dossier' full of shocking 'perverse' claims is dismissed out of court

DONALD Trump's lawsuit over a former British spy's claims that he took part in “perverted sexual acts” in Russia has been dismissed.

The former US president, 77, has sued Orbis Business Intelligence, a consultancy founded by former MI6 officer Christopher Steele, over “scandalous” claims that he said damaged his reputation.

Mr. Steele was the author of a dossier that contained rumors and accusations, including those Trump gave bribes Russian civil servants.

It was published in 2017 by the BuzzFeed website.

At a hearing London Last year, the court was told that Trump would press his claims in the dossier that he had participated in “sex parties” while in St. Petersburg.

The report also alleged that Trump, the front-runner for the 2024 Republican presidential nominee, engaged in “golden showers” with prostitutes in Moscow.

Mr. Steele, who once headed the Russia desk of Britain's Secret Intelligence Service, also known as MI6, was paid by Democrats to put together research that contained salacious allegations that Russians could potentially use to blackmail Trump.

The Republican called the dossier 'fake news' and a 'political witch hunt'.

His lawyers added that the report was “extremely inaccurate” and contained “numerous false, false or fabricated allegations” and that he wanted compensation for the harm.

However, Orbis argued that Trump simply filed the claim to address his “long-standing grievances” against the company and Steele.

Orbis' lawyers asked that the case be referred to those fired, telling the court that the case was “brought for the purpose of harassing Orbis and Mr. Steele and perpetuating longstanding complaints.”

A High Court judge in London has now agreed to dismiss the data protection lawsuit.

Judge Karen Steyn ruled that Trump's case could not proceed, saying in a written ruling that “there are no compelling reasons to allow the claim to proceed to trial.”

She noted that Trump said the allegations are not true, adding: “I have not considered or made any determination as to the accuracy or inaccuracy of the (allegations).”

The London trial is just one of several involving Trump, who faces four separate criminal charges in the United States.
