A 52-year-old Christopher Steele said Tuesday he is "really pleased" to be back in his London office after a prolonged period out of public view. He went into hiding in January after his name was published in connection with the dossier, the Associated Press reported.
Mr Steele runs a London-based private security firm Orbis Business Intelligence.
"I'm now going to be focusing my efforts on supporting the broader interests of our company here," he said without addressing the Trump dossier.
Trump has described information in the dossier as "phony allegations" by his political opponents.
