London’s High Court has rejected Donald Trump’s lawsuit regarding the controversial ‘Steele dossier.’

The former U.S. President had filed the lawsuit, claiming defamation and false information in the dossier that played a role in the Russia investigation during his presidency.

The court ruling emphasised the lack of jurisdiction in the UK for a case primarily linked to events in the United States.

The judge argued that the issues raised by Trump should be addressed through the U.S. legal system, marking a setback for the former president’s efforts to challenge the dossier’s credibility on an international platform.

This decision adds another piece to the ongoing legal battles surrounding the ‘Steele dossier,’ a compilation of intelligence reports that became a focal point in the investigations into Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
