Judge Orders Trump to Turn Over Financial Records to BBC in $10 Billion Defamation Case
A federal magistrate judge ordered Donald Trump to produce financial records from his revocable trust, granting the BBC a key discovery win in his $10 billion defamation lawsuit. U.S. Magistrate Judge Enjoliqué Lett issued the ruling after granting the network’s motion to compel the documents.
The judge based the decision on Trump’s complaint, which emphasized alleged injury to his businesses, allowing the broadcaster to seek details on their financial health. The discovery win shifts litigation leverage to the network and triggers early scrutiny of the trust’s corporate assets.
