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.

    I’ve been saying this all along: Don’t settle the lawsuits, refuse to settle, and demand a FEROCIOUS discovery. These people commit crimes with every breath, and they can’t afford to have legal entities rooting through their personal and business records, that will surely lead to future criminal indictments.
