Trump fights BBC demands for his business finances in defamation case
TL;DR
Trump asks for an emergency stay to block a court order requiring him to disclose financial details of hundreds of Trump entities to the BBC as part of a defamation lawsuit, arguing the revised filing should center on reputational damages. The BBC says the financial records are needed to assess damages, while Trump seeks to narrow the dispute and limit discovery. The judge has not ruled on the BBC’s dismissal motions, and Trump has proposed a deposition date, with a Thursday deadline still in play for initial disclosures.
