Trump's Personal Lawyer Is Suing BuzzFeed Over That Explosive Russia Dossier
The answer came a few hours later, when President Trump's personal attorney, Michael Cohen, announced that he had filed a defamation suit against BuzzFeed, and a separate suit against Fusion GPS, the political intelligence firm that commissioned the dossier.
Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump's personal attorney, has reportedly filed a defamation suit against BuzzFeed for publishing the unsubstantiated collection of memos known as the Trump-Russia dossier a year ago. "Just filed a defamation action against @BuzzFeedNews for publishing the lie filled document on @POTUS @realDonaldTrump and me!"
He provided the complaint and a confirmation email from the court system that he had filed the suit to Bloomberg News, but it could not immediately be independently confirmed that the suit had been filed.
Simpson testified in August before the Senate Judiciary Committee behind closed doors - but his testimony was kept secret.
BuzzFeed published the dossier in January 2017, noting that the allegations were unverified and the report contained errors.
The filings were also made against Fusion GPS, the political research firm that compiled the dossier, and Buzzfeed one day before the statute of limitations would have expired.
Also on Tuesday, a group of House of Representatives Democrats wrote to Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan asking his party to "fully investigate" possible Russian interference in USA elections. "Its interest to the public is obvious", Buzzfeed spokesman Matt Mittenthal said in a statement. "And we understand why President Trump's supporters remain furious at the airing of a disturbingly vivid unproven allegation about encounters with prostitutes", argues Smith.

Trevor Noah On Trump: "I Think The President Might Be Racist"
Announcing his candidacy for president at Trump Tower in June 2015, Trump made derogatory statements about immigrants from Mexico. Trump tweeted Friday amid criticism over his comments during a White House meeting Wednesday. "We are not coming".
The Steele dossier is not only crucial because of all the salacious and sordid details about the president (read: the golden shower), but also because it revealed the extent of supposed ties between members of the Trump campaign and officials in Moscow, which prompted the FBI to launch an investigation and conclude Russian government indeed interfered during the 2016 presidential election.
Some Republicans have been critical of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's probe into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian Federation, claiming the initial Federal Bureau of Investigation probe was triggered by Mr Steele's dossier.
"When they have no collusion and nobody's found any collusion at any level, it seems unlikely that you'd even have an interview", Mr Trump said during a joint news conference with the prime minister of Norway. He used his network of contacts in east European intelligence services to examine Mr Trump's ties in Russian Federation for Fusion GPS, which was originally hired the candidate's Republican opponents.
In a statement, the website defended the news value of the dossier while slamming Trump's lawyer.
But Cohen, who works as an attorney for Trump Organization, has long denied the allegations, which are made in the dossier by former MI6 agent Christopher Steele. The New York Times reported last month that Papadopoulos told the diplomat that Russian Federation had thousands of emails that would embarrass Clinton and that the Australians' subsequent tip to the FBI about the conversation helped persuade the bureau to investigate potential coordination between Russian Federation and the Trump campaign.
Fusion GPS, in turn, hired Orbis Business Intelligence, a London-based company founded by Steele, to compile the study.
