Incident in Moscow in 2013
Trump fails with lawsuit over sex party dossier
Former US President Donald Trump has failed in a civil action at London's High Court over a dossier about his alleged participation in sex parties. The action was dismissed on Thursday before the main proceedings had even begun. The judge justified the decision by stating that it had no prospect of success.
The lawsuit concerned a dossier by British ex-intelligence officer Christopher Steele that was made public in 2017. Among other things, it cited reports that the Russian secret service had footage of Trump's alleged participation in orgies in Russia and was holding it as leverage.
Alleged incident in a Moscow hotel in 2013
Among other things, it concerns an alleged incident in a hotel in Moscow in 2013 in which prostitutes are said to have urinated on a bed in Trump's presence.
Trump has always denied having attended sex parties in Russia and sued the consulting firm Orbis Business Intelligence, founded by Steele, in London.
Trump demanded compensation for pain and suffering
The 77-year-old former president and promising candidate for the US Republican nomination in this year's presidential election accuses the company of unlawfully using private data and is demanding compensation for the loss of reputation he has suffered. Trump wants to restore his reputation, said his lawyer, according to the British news agency PA.
Judge: "Trump has let many years pass"
Lawyers for the other side, on the other hand, argued that the dossier was never intended for the public. Trump's lawsuit must therefore be directed against the website BuzzFeed, which first published the document. The judge accused Trump of having "allowed many years to pass" without legally defending himself against the allegations.
