Aleksej Gubarev, a Russian technology executive, sued the media company for libel after it decided to make public a dossier of memos authored by the former British spy Christopher Steele, who was hired to conduct opposition research for Fusion GPS, a private research firm. Steele's dossier, which circulated among news organizations in Washington throughout the fall of 2016 before being published by BuzzFeed, alleged ties between Donald Trump's campaign and Russia.
Gubarev has strongly denied the allegations made in the dossier, which claim that his companies helped the Russian government hack the DNC computer systems during last year's presidential campaign.
The lawsuit was filed against Buzzfeed almost a year ago and is ongoing. I'd never heard of it. Thanks for posting this topic, OP. Sometimes C-D is informative.

If there has since been reporting to the contrary, I stand to be corrected?
Lol, you do not "disprove" things, you prove them.
For example, you have not proven to me that you never murdered anyone.

Let's put it this way. No part of the dossier has been proven to be false, no part has been discredited, no part has been invalidated. However, considerable amounts of it have been proven to be true.
