A London appellate justice has rejected former President Donald Trump's request to appeal the dismissal of his case against retired British spy Christopher Steele's company over the controversial 2016 dossier. The case centered around Trump's data privacy claim, alleging that Steele had harmed his reputation by spreading inaccurate claims about his Russian ties.
The appellate justice, Lord Justice Mark Warby, stated that Trump's appeal had no real prospect of success. He found some of Trump's arguments to be contradictory and noted that the appeal introduced new points that were not presented in the initial case before Judge Karen Steyn.
