A lawyer for former President Donald Trump told a London judge that his client intends to prove that a report written by a discredited former British spy contained false claims that harmed his reputation and compromised his first run for the presidency.
The attorney, Hugh Tomlinson, made his arguments on Oct. 16, asserting that the dossier “contained shocking and scandalous claims about the personal conduct of President Trump” and that it included allegations that he paid Russian officials in order to boost his economic interests. The crux of Trump’s argument, as he put it, is that “this personal data is egregiously inaccurate.”
