BBC Sues Trump Family Over Defamation Claims | Lubbock News

The BBC is locked in a legal battle with Donald Trump over a ten-billion-dollar defamation suit, seeking testimony from Trump’s family members—Ivanka, Jared Kushner, and Donald Jr.—who allegedly have firsthand knowledge of his claims. Hindered by Secret Service protection, the broadcaster is now asking the court to serve subpoenas via email and certified mail, while Trump’s team accuses them of harassment and deflecting blame. The dispute stems from a BBC documentary that Trump says falsely edited his January 6, 2021 speech to appear incitement, though the BBC maintains they didn’t defame him. A trial is tentatively set for February, and a judge recently blocked Trump from disclosing financial details, as he works on narrowing his amended complaint.
