Judge Orders Trump to Depose by December 11 in $10 Billion BBC Defamation Case
A U.S. federal judge has ordered former President Donald Trump to sit for a deposition by December 11 in his $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the BBC. The case concerns a BBC documentary that allegedly misrepresented Trump's January 6, 2021, speech by splicing clips to suggest he incited violence. Trump canceled a prior deposition citing national duties, while the BBC accuses him of delaying proceedings. The court also approved a subpoena for Trump's Mar-a-Lago membership records as part of discovery. Both sides dispute the scope and relevance of requested documents.
