Judge Orders Donald Trump to Sit for Deposition in BBC Defamation Lawsuit
A federal judge in Miami has ordered President Donald Trump to undergo a deposition by December 11 regarding his $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the BBC. During a court hearing, U.S. Magistrate Judge Enjoliqué Lett issued a stern warning to Trump's legal team: failure to comply with orders to provide relevant records could result in the dismissal of the entire complaint. The ruling comes after Trump's attorneys attempted to schedule the deposition for later in early 2026. This legal development marks a significant escalation in the high-stakes litigation between the former president and the British broadcaster, as the court seeks to compel discovery and testimony.
