Sky News can reveal Trump has failed to comply with the costs order with Christopher Steele, the former MI6 agent who compiled the infamous document.

Trump was ordered to pay costs in February after the High Court threw out his attempt to sue Mr Steele's company Orbis Business Intelligence.

The former president claimed the report, which included unsubstantiated allegations of bribery and that he used sex workers while on a trip to Moscow, contained inaccuracies and breached his rights under the Data Protection Act.

The judge, Mrs Justice Steyn, did not make any judgment on the allegations but ruled the claim was invalid because it was filed after the six-year limitation period. Trump was subsequently also denied leave to appeal.

yeah that was horrible but there was diplomatic immunity involved

Her husband had diplomatic immunity, his wife did not. She was told by someone (i think it was the US embassy or something, I'm not bothered to Google it) to just take the next flight to the US, which she did, and suffered ZERO consequences for killing someone!
