Sky News can reveal Trump has failed to comply with the costs order with Christopher Steele, the former MI6 agent who compiled the infamous document.
Trump was ordered to pay costs in February after the High Court threw out his attempt to sue Mr Steele’s company Orbis Business Intelligence.
The former president claimed the report, which included unsubstantiated allegations of bribery and that he used sex workers while on a trip to Moscow, contained inaccuracies and breached his rights under the Data Protection Act.
The judge, Mrs Justice Steyn, did not make any judgment on the allegations but ruled the claim was invalid because it was filed after the six-year limitation period. Trump was subsequently also denied leave to appeal.
Roight! Naiol 'Im!
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Donald Trump is in breach of a British High Court order to pay £300,000 in legal costs to the former spy who compiled a salacious dossier alleging Russian interference in the 2016 US election.
Trump was ordered to pay costs in February after the High Court threw out his attempt to sue Mr Steele’s company Orbis Business Intelligence.
The former president claimed the report, which included unsubstantiated allegations of bribery and that he used sex workers while on a trip to Moscow, contained inaccuracies and breached his rights under the Data Protection Act.
Mr Steele, a former head of MI6’s Russia desk, was commissioned to produce the document by Trump’s political opponents including Hillary Clinton’s Democratic Party.
Mr Steele says he has no means of recouping his costs from UK assets owned by Trump, because the golf courses that bear his name in Scotland are held in trust structures.
“The High Court in London has found that there was not even an attempt by Christopher Steele, or his group, to justify or try to prove, which they absolutely cannot, their false and defamatory allegations in the fake 'dossier,” he added.

You mean Convicted Felon Donald Trump?
Don’t you mean twice impeached, convicted felon (34 counts), banned from guns pedophile and rapist former president trump?
You mean civilly liable sexual abuser and fraud Donald Trump? That one?
Yeah, that one!
You mean Convicted Felon Rapist Donald Trump?
Don’t forget twice impeached!
The twice impeached felon and rapist with tiny hands
Not his only appendage that has been called tiny.
Ahhh yes, the 34 counts convicted felon rapist Donald Von ShitzInPantz Trump?
Convicted felon and “Home Alone 2” guest star Donald Trump
Little Rascals guest star too
I didn’t know he was that old
I assume he meant the movie from the 90s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Little_Rascals_(film)
He owned the Plaza for a short period of time, and he required a cameo in order for the filming to take place in the hotel (they wanted something that looked like opulence to a child). He’s been an egomaniac for as long as he’s been “relevant”.
Also, I fucking hate seeing his stupid face. And I hope there’s a time where he not only loses relevance, but his face isn’t shown ever again.
He’ll be dead soon.
I hope the secret service investigate me for this comment.
“my plan is to let him die of old age”
Quickly and quietly with no known cause of death.
Death by Russia?
Fell out of a window

How that hasn’t happened already is just icing on a piss cake.
Honestly I am going to take the day off just to celebrate the day he strokes out or whatever. He is an absolutely irredeemable psychopathic shitrag of a human being, and the world will be measurably better off without him.
Native New Yorker. The Trump Plaza fiasco was well covered by the local press. The greatest dealmaker in the world massively overextended himself and had to take a [iirc] $90 million bath.

truth social will likely be another fraud lawsuit
Truth isn’t worth shit. I have no idea how anyone decided it was worth investing billions, but there is no fucking way there isn’t some egregious fraud going on there. I would imagine tracing the investors back reveals a number of low-capital morons investing their retirements and a bunch of foreign nationals buying influence.
Still not worth billions because Trump isn’t worth it if he doesn’t win. If he loses the election, I think that stock is going to tank the next day down to about zero as all the big investors pull out.
At least two of the early members have already been indicted for insider trading, and I think it was the brokerage company for Truth also had some fraud charges against it. But that evaluation is 100% bull for a company running in the red the whole time and no plan on actually breaking even let alone making a profit. All serious investors have said it’s basically a scam for suckers (his base that he despises).
About $382K for those wondering.
Good luck getting the money without seizing some of his assets. No way dolt 45-34 is going to pay voluntarily. Criminals never do.
He has a golf course in Scotland. Sell that.
Good idea, but apparently not possible: According to Sky News “Mr Steele says he has no means of recouping his costs from UK assets owned by Trump, because the golf courses that bear his name in Scotland are held in trust structures.”
Damn.
And the hits keep on coming.
As they should for this fraudster.
I can’t believe anyone thought Trump would pay a lawyer, especially a foreign court.
🍯
I wish there was some way the UK could ask for the US to extredite him and he rotted in a UK jail.
We couldn’t even get the US woman back that ran over a kid or young person a few years ago. Fuck the USA. Fuck my home the UK too whilst we’re at it.
yeah that was horrible but there was diplomatic immunity involved
For her husband.
Her husband had diplomatic immunity, his wife did not. She was told by someone (i think it was the US embassy or something, I’m not bothered to Google it) to just take the next flight to the US, which she did, and suffered ZERO consequences for killing someone!
oh really? i must be misinterpreting this then
