Trump fights BBC subpoenas for family testimony in defamation case
In the U.S., Donald Trump has urged a federal judge to deny the BBC's request for testimony from his family members in a $10 billion defamation lawsuit. The lawsuit, filed in December, claims the BBC misrepresented his speech on January 6, 2021, during the Capitol attack. Trump's legal team argues the subpoenas targeting Ivanka Trump, Donald Trump Jr., and Jared Kushner are politically motivated, while the BBC maintains that their testimonies are essential for the case.
