Trump legal team claims the BBC is ‘abusing the deposition process’ as broadcaster fights a $10 billion lawsuit

Donald Trump has accused the BBC of trying to harass his family after the broadcaster sought to subpoena members of his family to challenge his $10 billion defamation lawsuit.

The president is suing the BBC for defamation over a Panorama episode that spliced together two parts of a speech he gave ahead of the Capitol riots in 2021.

Lawyers have requested a U.S. court order Trump’s son Donald Trump Jr, his daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner to give documents and testimony in relation to the case.

    The sad things is that has worked for it* in the past, so of course it* will keep on using that strategy.

    * I use the pronoun it because I believe in using the correct pronouns for everyone and refuse to address that piece of shit as a human being

      Hamsters are gendered but not human. Based on body shape and relative hand-to-body size, it’s not impossible that Trump is a giant hairless hamster (except for the strange growth on the top of the head).
