00:00 It's Benzinga and here's what's on the block.
00:02 A UK judge dismissed former US President Donald Trump's lawsuit against Orbis Business Intelligence
00:07 founded by former British spy Christopher Steele.
00:09 Trump had accused Orbis and Steele of making shocking and scandalous claims in a dossier
00:13 that were false and harmed his reputation.
00:15 Judge Karen Stain said there were no compelling reasons to allow the case to proceed, effectively
00:19 dismissing the lawsuit.
00:20 The dossier in question contained unverified allegations about Trump's ties to Russia and
00:24 alleged perverted sexual acts.
00:26 The US lawyer argued the claims were inaccurate and caused personal and reputational damage.
00:30 The judge agreed with Orbis that the dossier was not meant for public release and Trump
00:33 delayed too long to pursue legal action.
