Steele dossier: Alleged footage from Russia shows Trump at orgies
Trump had sued Orbis Business Intelligence, a consulting firm founded by former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele.
The background was a dossier about Trump that was made public in 2016.
The so-called Steele dossier cites, among other things, reports that the Russian secret service has footage of Trump's alleged participation in sex orgies in Russia and is using it as a means of pressure.
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 attending sex parties in Russia and sued the consulting firm.
The 77-year-old former president accused the company of unlawfully using private data.
He demanded compensation for the loss of reputation suffered.
However, a judge had already dismissed the lawsuit before the main hearing.
Trump did not appeal, according to the court documents, according to
PA
.
