Trump legal team claims the BBC is ‘abusing the deposition process’ as broadcaster fights a $10 billion lawsuit

Donald Trump has accused the BBC of trying to harass his family after the broadcaster sought to subpoena members of his family to challenge his $10 billion defamation lawsuit.

The president is suing the BBC for defamation over a Panorama episode that spliced together two parts of a speech he gave ahead of the Capitol riots in 2021.

Lawyers have requested a U.S. court order Trump’s son Donald Trump Jr, his daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner to give documents and testimony in relation to the case.

    Worst that will happen is a fine that never gets paid. I’m willing to bet that the BBC will PAY Trump money at the end of this

    Pick one.

      Don’t really need to.

      More than likely, he will get fined and never pay/ keep appealing.

      But I’d be willing to bet that the BBC will pay Trump money at the end of this.

      Does that make it more clear with what I meant?
