Judge Orders Trump to Sit for Deposition by Dec. 11 in $10 Billion BBC Defamation Lawsuit
Read this in the Market Flux appA U.S. judge has ordered President Trump to sit for a deposition no later than December 11 in his $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the BBC. Trump's lawyers had sought to push the deposition to a later window, between January 11 and January 22, but the court rejected that timeline.
The lawsuit stems from a BBC documentary that Trump alleges misleadingly edited footage of his January 6 speech to make it appear he encouraged the Capitol riot. The BBC has apologized for the editing but denies that its coverage constitutes defamation. Two senior BBC executives resigned in connection with the controversy surrounding the documentary.
