UK Court Rejects Trump's Data Protection Lawsuit Against Orbis

London's High Court has dismissed a lawsuit filed by former US president Donald Trump against Orbis Business Intelligence, a British intelligence firm, over allegations of violating UK data protection laws. The lawsuit concerned a dossier compiled by former MI6 officer Christopher Steele, containing unsubstantiated claims about Trump's personal conduct in Russia, potentially usable for blackmail. Trump argued that these allegations caused him significant damage and distress. Judge Karen Steyn ruled there was no compelling reason for the case to proceed to trial, suggesting it was brought to address longstanding grievances against the company and Steele.
