A closer look at “Judge Orders Trump Deposition in $10B Defamation Lawsuit Against BBC Over Panorama Documen”, exactly as the source publishes it. A federal judge has ordered former President Donald Trump to sit for a deposition by December in his $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the BBC. The lawsuit, filed in December, stems from a Panorama documentary that Trump alleges misleadingly edited his speech before the January 6 Capitol attack. The BBC had sought to dismiss the case or move it to the UK, but the judge's order signals the case will proceed in U.S.
