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.

Wells family pushes for answers as independent probe widens and social-data subpoenas loom

The Wells family is pressing for more information about 18-year-old Nolan Wells’s disappearance and death after authorities said foul play wasn’t initially suspected but continue investigating. They’ve launched an independent probe, obtained the full distress-call audio, and are consulting oceanic and medical experts to better understand factors that could explain where his body was found and the autopsy results. The family seeks a joint cellphone-data review with the district attorney, and subpoenas have been issued to Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Life360, Snapchat and TikTok for Wells’ account data. The case has also drawn online harassment toward Wells’s family and associates.

Van Drew Puts Subpoenas on the Table as NJ Noncitizen Voter Flap Grows

Rep. Jeff Van Drew, chair of a House Judiciary subcommittee, says he is “absolutely exploring” subpoenas and will hold fall hearings on New Jersey’s noncitizen voter-registration debacle, depending on how much information Gov. Mikie Sherrill releases. About 6,600 noncitizens were added to NJ’s voter rolls from 2023–2024, with roughly 400 casting ballots; Sherrill says none of those ballots affected elections. The row involves a 2018 motor-voter law and blame between the state and vendor IDEMIA. The Trump administration has pressed for data by a tight deadline, while Sherrill resists sharing personally identifying information; Democrats favor an independent review before taking further action.

DOJ withdraws NYT subpoenas as judge weighs press-freedom stakes

The Trump-era DOJ pulled back subpoenas seeking grand-jury testimony from New York Times reporters in a national-security leak probe, after the Times sought to quash the orders and argued the move would chill journalism; the government said the investigation continues and may hinge on journalist-privilege questions and potential leaks of classified information, with a federal judge scrutinizing both sides.

DOJ drops subpoenas against NYT reporters over Qatar Air Force One security reporting

The Justice Department withdrew grand-jury subpoenas aimed at several New York Times reporters after a judge pressed for strict procedural compliance, tied to Times reporting about security gaps in a Qatar-gifted Air Force One. The Times argued the subpoenas were an improper attempt to intimidate the press, while the investigation into leaks and national-security matters remains ongoing and prosecutors pledged to pursue future requests with proper procedure.

DOJ withdraws NYT reporters subpoenas after court rebuke and admission of legal errors

The Justice Department pulled subpoenas seeking testimony from three New York Times reporters and relatives about sources for articles on President Trump’s Qatar-funded Air Force One after a federal judge criticized the government’s handling as sloppy and overreaching, warning that subpoenas should be used only as a last resort. The move follows similar withdrawals targeting reporters from other outlets and raises questions about the scope of the investigation and whether other sources could provide needed information. The public hearing highlighted tensions between the government’s attempt to compel leaks and the protections afforded to journalists.

DOJ withdraws subpoenas targeting NYT reporters in Trump Air Force One probe

The Justice Department has withdrawn subpoenas it issued to New York Times reporters tied to coverage of President Trump's new Air Force One, after the Times moved to quash them. The subpoenas sought grand-jury testimony and, in at least one instance, third-party phone records, raising concerns about press freedom as the investigation continues in Manhattan.

Judge orders Trump to disclose financial records in BBC defamation dispute

Judge orders Trump to disclose financial records in BBC defamation dispute

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.

DOJ Pauses NYT Subpoenas After Botched Leak Probe

The Justice Department admitted serious missteps in its NYT leak investigation and paused all subpoenas targeting NYT reporters for two weeks to reassess its approach, amid questions about failing to consider the Second Circuit’s reporter’s privilege, misidentifying reporters’ phone numbers (even targeting family members), and delaying disclosure. The episode is framed as a broader political clash that could reflect attempts to use the DOJ as a weapon against the Times rather than a routine leak probe.
