Trump loses again: U.K. judge orders him to pay 6-figure amount for Russia, Russia, Russia

After U.S. courts and jurors decided and ruled a close to a half-billion dollar blow to former President Donald Trump, a judge in the United Kingdom has ordered him to pay the six-figure legal costs of a company he sued over alleged claims of “perverted” sex acts and bribes to Russian officials.

A London judge, who threw out the case against Orbis Business Intelligence last month saying it was “bound to fail,” ordered Trump to pay legal fees of 300,000 pounds ($382,000), according to court documents released Thursday.

Orbis was founded by Christopher Steele, who once ran the Russia desk for Britain’s Secret Intelligence Service, also known as MI6.

Steele was paid by Democrats for research that included salacious allegations Russians could potentially use to blackmail Trump. The so-called Steele dossier assembled in 2016 created a political storm just before Trump’s inauguration with rumors and uncorroborated allegations that have since been largely discredited.
