Trump Sues BBC Over Capitol Speech | San Antonio News

Donald Trump is suing the BBC for $10 billion, alleging defamation over a controversially edited January 6, 2021 speech that allegedly incited violence — a move he claims is politically motivated to hurt his 2024 campaign. The BBC seeks testimony from Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner, and Donald Trump Jr., who were present during speech revisions and post-capitol talks, but faces hurdles due to Secret Service protection. They’ve asked the court to allow email and certified mail service, while Trump’s team accuses them of abusing legal process to delay trial set for February. Separately, a judge has paused Trump’s obligation to disclose business finances as he refiles his complaint to broaden claims to include reputational harm.
