Judge Temporarily Halts Financial Disclosure in Trump’s $10 Billion BBC Lawsuit
US District Judge Roy Altman temporarily paused an order requiring former President Donald Trump to disclose detailed financial records in his $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the BBC. The case concerns a 2024 BBC documentary that Trump alleges misleadingly edited his January 6, 2021 speech. Altman is reviewing an amended complaint from Trump that could narrow the lawsuit to reputational harm, potentially eliminating the need for financial disclosures. A trial is tentatively scheduled for February 2025.
