More bad news for Trump. Twitter should be fun the next couple of days.
A judge in Washington, D.C., on Monday ruled in favor of Christopher Steele, the former British intelligence officer who authored an unverified dossier alleging ties between President Trump's campaign and Russia, in a libel suit.
in the ruling reported by The Guardian, Judge Anthony Epstein upheld a decision to dismiss a case by three Russian oligarchs who had sued Steele and his firm for defamation for reports in the dossier. The judge said the men had not sufficiently proved that Steele knew any of the information in the document was false.
Republicans and allies of President Trump have erroneously accused the FBI of beginning an investigation into the Trump campaign's alleged ties to Russia based off claims made in the Steele dossier, while the investigation was actually launched due to comments former aide George Papadopoulos made to Australian officials.
