  • Trump filed a lawsuit last year.
  • However, the court made Trump’s claim.
  • Trump ordered the payment of legal fees for Orbis, but did not do so.

A London judge ruled on Thursday that Donald Trump must pay a legal fee of £626,000 (about $821,500) to a private investigative company, and the U.S. president ruled on Thursday that the U.S. president filed a lawsuit against his creditors between his 2016 election and Russia.

Trump filed a data protection lawsuit against Orbis Business Intelligence (OBI), a lawsuit in which it was charged in a file written by its co-founder and former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele, but Trump’s claims were filed last year.

Trump has been denied allegations of the so-called Steele Dossier claiming a link between Trump’s 2016 election and Russia and other mean allegations.

Orbis’ lawyers said at a last hearing in January that Trump was ordered to pay about £290,000 for Orbis’ legal fees but failed to pay.

This means Trump was banned from representing further hearings this week to consider Orbis’ general legal bill and whether its fees are justified.

Orbis’ attorney Paul Arter said Trump’s negotiation skills are very powerful and one of his attorneys at 750 pounds per hour.

Art said the case is very important to both parties, and Orbis is concerned about his survival, while Trump tries to protect his reputation.

Arter said he had a history of pursuing vendetta and certainly legal in the face of an opponent with “active litigants”, which proves the tax rate Orbis paid for his attorneys.

Judge Jason Rowley ruled that Trump owed Orbis 530,615 pounds, less than Orbis’ 680,000 pounds, but more than 452,000 Orbis offered by Orbis.

He also said Trump should pay for the cost-related disputes, totaling more than 626,000 pounds.
