President Trump’s $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the British Broadcasting Company is backfiring in his face, as a judge has greenlit the subpoenaing of his inner circle.
But on Tuesday, U.S. Magistrate Judge Enjoliqué Lett said the BBC can proceed with subpoenas for Trump’s closest advisers and confidants—including his family members, Stephen Miller, and Steve Bannon—to make the case on what Trump’s actual goals were on January 6.
Lett also ruled that Trump must hand over hundreds of financial records, as Trump argued in his lawsuit that the episode hurt his many businesses.
I should have worded it differently lol I am assuming they will ride this pony and not put it to pasture. Honestly I thought they would have dropped it long before the judge had a chance to make the ruling. I know the BBC wants to go all the way.
They still have the rule 72(a) deadline and the BBC is still waiting on their Jurisdiction ruling so maybe they are just riding it as far as they can before discovery really kicks into high gear? Idk this is pure clown world so anything could happen lol
