Trump Files Motion to Block BBC Subpoenaing Family Members in Defamation Lawsuit
On August 23, President Trump filed a motion to prevent the BBC from subpoenaing his family members in connection with a defamation lawsuit. This follows a December lawsuit where Trump claimed the BBC edited parts of his speech related to the January 6 Capitol attack. Trump's legal team argues that the BBC's discovery campaign has been rejected by the court. Meanwhile, the Center for American Progress, which faced a retraction deadline, declined to issue a new one. The BBC maintains it has attempted to resolve the issue without court intervention, and the case involving Kuntz, who inherited Trump's lawsuit, remains unresolved with no specified reason for the reassignment and a February trial date set. Additionally, Torrey Pines High School is embroiled in a lawsuit against teachers and administrators for alleged retaliation against students with pro-Trump views during a protest.
