Judge orders Trump to disclose financial records in BBC defamation dispute
TL;DR Summary
A judge ordered Donald Trump to hand over financial records sought by the BBC in a defamation case. The BBC says it produced 87,000 pages, while Trump’s side released about 735 pages, calling theirs a 'sham production.' BBC lawyers described the discovery as uneven; Trump’s team labeled the BBC requests oppressive and a 'fishing expedition' via subpoenas to federal agencies and former officials. A BBC chairman’s letter apologizing for a Panorama clip is cited as a point of concession in the dispute.
