Former President Donald Trump faces a six-figure legal bill over a failed lawsuit stemming from the discredited research dossier authored by British ex-spy Christopher Steele, which played a key role in the FBI’s probe into the 2016 Trump campaign.

President Trump has been ordered to pay at least $382,000 in legal costs after losing the UK court case against Orbis Business Intelligence, a company founded by Mr. Steele, per a judicial order obtained by several British news outlets on March 7, including The Telegraph.
