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.

    I think you mean “far less solid ground” - i.e. they’re on very solid ground here.

      No, I meant solid ground. As in, Trump’s ground is currently made entirely from loose gravel.

        Aah, I thought you meant the BBC’s solid ground, not the plaintiff. Got it.
