No one to date has really been held accountable for the lies spread by liberals that former President Donald Trump collaborated with Russian operatives to win the 2016 election.
But Trump is trying. Unfortunately, he’s got to go overseas to seek justice.
According to the Epoch Times, Trump’s legal team in London is suing former British spy Christopher Steele and the private intelligence company he created for dispersing the rumors and unsubstantiated “intelligence” that led liberals to spend years labeling Trump a stooge of the Kremlin.

Trump’s lawyer, Hugh Tomlinson, told a British court on Monday that Steele’s infamous dossier “contained shocking and scandalous claims about the personal conduct of President Trump,” and that its contents were “egregiously inaccurate.”
To recap, Fusion GPS, a U.S. private intelligence firm, hired Steele in 2016 to dig up dirt on Trump. That firm was paid through a Democratic law firm retained by Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee.
Then, the FBI, which knew that Steele’s claims were phony and concocted, still used the document to hound Trump for the alleged collaboration, a move that hobbled Trump for most of his presidency.
The agency’s conduct was so egregious that even The Nation, a longtime left-wing magazine often sympathetic to communists, criticized the FBI for pursuing Steele’s “absurdities” and “inventions” that fed “the fictitious Trump-Russia plot.”

As Epoch Times reported on Monday, Trump, through his lawyer, “asserts that he suffered personal as well as reputational damage and distress due to the violation of his data protection rights” by Steele’s accusations. Further, Trump “intends to clear his name in court by presenting proof to support his position, showing that the charges made in the report are inaccurate,” the Times noted.
Trump took similar action in the U.S. last year. He argued to a judge that Steele, Clinton, and others perpetrated an “outrageous, subversive and incendiary” plot that made “the events of Watergate pale in comparison.”
Yet the judge in the case was unmoved and dismissed the lawsuit in September 2022.
