Trump sues BBC over defamation; family records sought in discovery

A federal judge is considering a request from the BBC to obtain testimony and documents from three of Donald Trump's family members as part of his defamation lawsuit against the broadcaster. Trump's legal team argues that the BBC is using this request for political leverage and that the subpoenas are overly broad. The lawsuit stems from a BBC documentary that Trump claims deceptively edited his January 6th speech to misrepresent his words, alleging it was an attempt to influence the 2024 presidential election.
