tRUMP filed a lawsuit in the UK that is presently being reviewed by London's hgh court for merits before the case can go forward. tRUMP has often praised UK's libel laws... and is likely relishing the retribution he thinks he is entitled to under their law - which often punishes people for telling the truth.
To discourage trivial claims, the law requires that a plaintiff show an allegedly defamatory statement "has caused or is likely to cause serious harm" to his reputation.

Here's hoping that the London judge understands that the "reputation" tRUMP thinks he has was as inflated as the tRUMP PissBaby balloon that the the UK made popular.
Seriously though...
What he has forgotten is that he will be facing much more scrutiny and will have to make a deposition, something he is so terrible at he avoids it at all costs as they often cost him a bundle...
The company, Orbis Business Intelligence, was founded by Christopher Steele, the exM16 Intelligence Officer who created the dossier that was released in 2016. Trump wants hundreds of millions in damages for alleged violation of British data protection laws.
This is what has been revealed thus far by Christopher Steele:
“Two of the named Russian sources have not been seen or heard of since. The publication of this document did serious damage to the US government’s Russian operations and their ability to recruit new Russian sources. The claimant’s [Trump’s] actions in this regard were truly shocking and arguably constitute one of the most egregious breaches of intelligence rules and protocol by the US government in recent times.”
Although not news, it is further corroboration from an Intelligence expert that tRUMP cost lives and placed not only the Intelligence operations and community in jeaopardy, he succeeded in making the USA itself far less safe for years to come as countries now mistrust the USA with the confidence they once offered.
