Trump brought suit against firm over allegations in dossier written by Christopher Steele, but claim was thrown out
Trump brought a data protection lawsuit against Orbis Business Intelligence over allegations in a dossier written by its co-founder, Christopher Steele, but his claim was thrown out in February last year.
Lawyers representing Orbis said on Wednesday that Trump had been ordered to make a payment of £290,000 towards Orbis’s legal fees, with further sums also likely to be due.He said Trump was now also claiming he had “sovereign immunity” from any enforcement action as a head of state, an argument he said was “completely hopeless” as it had been a private lawsuit.
“It’s difficult to get instructions when your client is president of the free world and trying to turn everything upside down,” she said. “This isn’t high in his area of importance.” “That was the only reason the case was struck out,” she said, adding he wanted the action against his former advisers settled before addressing Orbis’s “eye-wateringly” high costs.
