The BBC reports:
Donald Trump has been told to pay the six-figure legal costs of a company he sued over claims of “perverted” sex acts and bribes to Russian officials.
Mrs Justice Steyn threw out the case against Orbis Business Intelligence, a consultancy founded by former MI6 officer Christopher Steele, last month. She found that Mr Trump’s compensation claim was “bound to fail”.
