BBC seeks Trump kin deposition in Jan. 6 defamation case

The BBC is seeking to subpoena Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump, and Jared Kushner in a $10 billion defamation lawsuit over a 2024 BBC documentary about Donald Trump’s Jan. 6 speech, arguing the family has relevant knowledge about his intentions. Attempts to serve subpoenas at Ivanka and Jared’s Miami home and at Trump Tower in New York were blocked, and the Secret Service said it could not accept service. The BBC asks the Miami federal court to allow service by mail or through Trump’s attorneys as an alternative. No comment was immediately available from the Trump family or Trump’s legal team.

Judge Halts Trump Financials Disclosure to BBC as Case Is Narrowed

A Florida federal judge paused an order requiring Trump to share details of his business finances with the BBC while he considers Trump’s request to narrow his defamation lawsuit over a 2024 BBC documentary. The pause could delay BBC’s access to the data, depending on whether Altman allows the reframed complaint, which still seeks up to $10 billion in damages. The proceeding tests whether Trump faces consequences from his media lawsuits and how the case will be treated if the claims are narrowed or altered.

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.

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.
