(The Hill) — A judge in the United Kingdom has ordered President Donald Trump to pay more than $820,000 in legal fees to the company representing former British spy Christopher Steele after he unsuccessfully sued over a dossier.

In 2022, Trump filed a claim against Orbis Business Intelligence, a firm founded by Steele, a former MI6 agent who published a 35-page dossier that featured claims about Trump ahead of the 2016 election.

Trump argued the company violated British data protection laws and that he suffered a personal and reputational damage because of the claims.

However, in 2024, London judge Karen Steyn in London tossed out the case because “there are no compelling reasons” to allow the case to go to trial.

The dossier claimed Trump had been “compromised” by Russia’s security service and said the now-president took part in “sex parties” in St. Petersburg, the Associated Press reported.

Steyn has now ordered Trump to pay the costs for Orbis’ lawyers, which the president said has been set “outrageously high.”

Trump failed to pay the first installment, and a hearing was set to decide for him to pay the full bill.

Judge Jason Rowley said Trump now must pay more than $820,000 with interest accruing daily at 12 percent, the AP reported.
