Story summary

U.S. Magistrate Judge Enjolique Lett ordered Donald Trump to sit for a deposition by December 11 in his defamation lawsuit against the BBC, which seeks $10 billion over a documentary that allegedly misedited his speech from January 6, 2021. The order came after lawyers for the British broadcaster complained about delays; Trump canceled an October 16 deposition date, claiming it was a "matter of national importance," but he was reportedly campaigning in Georgia on that day. If Trump fails to appear by December 11 or does not extend the discovery period beyond December 18, he risks sanctions up to dismissal of his lawsuit. The BBC has apologized for the editing mistake but denies defaming Trump and is seeking to have the case dismissed.
