A British High Court judge has ruled on a technicality that former President Donald Trump may not go to trial for defamation against Russia hoax dossier author Christopher Steele’s Orbis Business Intelligence – believed by some to be a British spying front company. The judge cited a six-year limitation period on the matter, claiming Trump’s ability to make his claims expired in 2022. She also noted that neither Steele nor Orbis claimed the dossier was factual.
The full ruling, therefore, doesn’t even rule on the merits of Trump’s case against Steele, instead offering that because the dossier was written between 20 June 2016 and 14 September 2016, it is to rule on the case.
Steven Cheung, a spokesman for the Trump campaign, told The National Pulse: “The High Court in London has found that there was not even an attempt by Christopher Steele, or his group, to justify or try to prove, which they absolutely cannot, their false and defamatory allegations in the fake ‘dossier.’ The High Court also found that there was processing and utilization of those false statements. President Trump will continue to fight for the truth and against falsehoods such as ones promulgated by Steele and his cohorts.”
The National Pulse understands the case will now be appealed.
This is not the first time judges have used technicalities to keep Trump cases out of court entirely. Most post-2020 election court cases were never offered a fair trial. Meanwhile, judges in Manhattan allowed questionable 30-year-old rape allegations to be brought against Trump after the State Assembly introduced the New York Adult Survivors Act. In fact, the law was explicitly designed to allow E. Jean Carroll to sue Trump after left-wing political allies lobbied their friends in the legislature and the Governor’s Office.
The Durham Report found the Steele Dossier and the investigations it inspired had no legitimacy. The U.S. Federal Election Commission (FEC) imposed token fines of $8,000 and $105,000 on Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) in 2022 because they dishonestly filed their funding of Steele’s dossier as money for “legal services” and “legal and compliance consulting.”
