Trump moves to block BBC access to financial records in documentary-related lawsuit

Trump’s lawyers asked a Miami judge to pause a court order that would force him to disclose detailed financial records to the BBC as part of a lawsuit linked to a 2024 documentary about January 6; they argue the request is overly broad and aims to harm his reputation, seeking to limit disclosures to what’s necessary. The order would require access to hundreds of Trump-family business records by August 6. This comes amid other Trump-media battles, including a defamation suit against the Wall Street Journal and subpoenas to the New York Times; the BBC has apologized for an edit in the documentary, which Trump says used AI. Details on Trump’s net worth remain unclear, though disclosures cited earnings of about $2.2 billion in his first year back in office.
