"Former President Donald Trump's escalating legal penalties are a little larger after a judge in the United Kingdom ordered him to pay more than $380,000 to a firm run by Christopher Steele, the ex-British spy who penned the infamous 2016 dossier accusing Trump of harboring close ties to the Russians.

Trump sued Steele's firm, Orbis Business Intelligence, in a London court in 2022 over claims that the series of memos known as the "Steele Dossier" harmed his reputation and violated British data privacy laws.


But in February, Justice Karen Steyn tossed the suit -- without determining whether the allegations in the dossier were true or false -- and ordered Trump to compensate Steele for his legal fees.

According to the judge's order, which was made public Thursday, the judge gave Trump 28 days to execute the payment of GBP 300,000, which equates to roughly $384,000."

Are Brit judges appointed or elected by the public?

Are Brit judges appointed or elected by the public?

A selection commission recommends to the Prime Minister the names of judges and he or she in advises the monarch who to appoint. Ultimately it is the monarch aka King Charles III who would appoint judges during his reign.

The British system is old fashioned the king or queen have no real power. They are just there for a formality. Kings and queens used to be the leaders of the country not any more.

Solid decision by a reasonable level headed judge whoever he is.
