Trump's lawyers have requested a stay on discovery in his defamation lawsuit against the BBC.Summary
Donald Trump's lawyers have asked a federal judge to pause the discovery process in his $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the BBC. The request comes as Trump seeks to have the case reassigned to a different judge. Trump accuses the publicly funded broadcaster of defaming him by splicing together parts of a January 6, 2021, speech. The BBC has subpoenaed the Donald J Trump Revocable Trust to determine the financial impact of the film. The broadcaster apologized for the edit but wants the lawsuit dismissed, arguing that Trump's re-election demonstrated the alleged defamation did not harm his reputation.
