Trump Faces Legal Setback In UK, Court Throws Out Ex-Spy Dossier Case: 'Brought This Claim To Exact Revenge'
Portfolio Pulse from Benzinga Neuro
The UK High Court dismissed a lawsuit by former US President Donald Trump against Orbis Business Intelligence over a dossier linking Trump to Russia. The court ruled the claim was out of the six-year limitation period. Orbis, led by ex-MI6 officer Christopher Steele, expressed satisfaction with the verdict, viewing the lawsuit as an attempt to exact revenge and chill free speech. The dossier, funded by Hillary Clinton's Democrats, contained unverified allegations against Trump and was leaked before his inauguration. Another lawsuit by Trump against Orbis and others was dismissed in Florida in 2022.

NEUTRAL IMPACT
The article mentions Tesla CEO Elon Musk criticizing a tweet from Clinton's campaign related to the dossier as misleading disinformation in 2022. This indirect mention may not significantly impact Tesla's stock in the short term.
The mention of Elon Musk in the context of criticizing a tweet related to the Trump dossier is tangential to Tesla's core business operations and financial performance. While Musk's actions and statements can sometimes affect Tesla's stock, this particular instance is unlikely to have a direct short-term impact on the stock price, given its peripheral nature to the company's activities.
