Americas2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported3m ago
Lawyers for the BBC have asked a judge to compel President Donald Trump to sit for a deposition in the $10 billion defamation lawsuit that Trump filed against the British broadcaster last December. According to the BBC's legal team, the president is attempting to delay his deposition in the case until January 2027.
Trump initiated the lawsuit against the channel following previous coverage. The current legal proceedings center on the discovery phase and the scheduling of the deposition, with the broadcaster pushing to move the process forward against the president's timeline.
