Trump dealt major blow in explosive $10B BBC lawsuit… as he's ordered to turn over secret financial records
A federal judge ordered Trump to turn over secret financial records within 10 days in his $10 billion BBC defamation lawsuit.Summary
A federal magistrate judge, Enjoliqué Aytch Lett, ruled that Donald Trump must hand over secret financial records from his Revocable Trust within 10 days in the BBC’s $10 billion defamation lawsuit. The suit stems from a BBC Panorama segment that edited Trump’s January 6, 2021 speech, making it appear he incited the Capitol riot. The segment spliced a 12‑second clip where Trump said, "We're going to walk down to the Capitol ... and I'll be there with you. And we fight. We fight like hell." The judge found the trust’s documents relevant to the BBC’s damage analysis, noting Trump alleges $10 billion in harms. BBC officials, including former Director‑General Tim Davie, have acknowledged the edit gave a mistaken impression. Trump can appeal to District Judge Roy Altman, whom he appointed, while the BBC seeks to have the case dismissed on jurisdictional grounds and to depose Trump under oath.
