BBC Seeks Trump Family Testimony | Durham News

The BBC is turning to a U.S. court to force testimony from Trump family members—Ivanka, Jared Kushner, and Donald Jr.—who allegedly hold key documents in a $10 billion defamation suit Trump filed against the broadcaster. Trump claims the BBC defamed him by misleadingly editing his January 6, 2021 speech, which he says was meant to sway the 2024 election; the BBC maintains it didn’t defame him and has apologized. With Secret Service protection blocking subpoenas, the BBC seeks permission to serve via email or certified mail, but Trump’s lawyers accuse them of harassment and distraction. A trial is tentatively scheduled for February, while a judge recently paused an order requiring Trump to disclose business finances as he narrows his damages claim.
