Former M16 agent, Christopher Steele, best know for his work on the debunked “Steele Dossier,” is now facing a new lawsuit from former President Donald Trump. In the lawsuit, Trump alleges that the dossier document tarnished his image and asserted false claims about him, which he is now seeking damages from Steele and his consulting firm, Orbis Business Intelligence.
This document alleged that Trump was compromised by Russian intelligence agencies and served as the foundation for the long-term “Russiagate” investigation. The dossier contained many false claims about Trump, including an allegation that he paid prostitutes to urinate on him at one of his Moscow buildings.

Trump is bringing a data protection claim against Steele and Orbis Business Intelligence according to Tim Lowles, his lawyer. He explained that proceedings have been issued on behalf of President Donald J. Trump in relation to breaches of UK Data Protection law caused by inaccuracies in processing data about the president included in the dossier.
Lowles added that Trump’s claim seeks remedies including rectification or erasure of inaccurate data contained within the dossier plus financial compensation for damages incurred from its publication.
A hearing on this matter is scheduled for October 16th with further details yet to be revealed.
This legal action taken by former President Donald Trump marks an important step towards restoring integrity in media coverage regarding public figures after years of misrepresentation caused by false information propagated through “fake news.”
It also serves as an opportunity for him to clear his name after being subjected to incessant harassment over accusations which were proven false following Robert Mueller’s report which stated there was no evidence backing any collusion between Russia and his campaign team during elections.
It will be interesting how other politicians react if their claims are found true when they take similar measures against media outlets who disseminate lies about them without proper verification or research into facts before publishing stories online or airing reports on television networks.
