BBC Weaponises Defamation Lawsuit By Demanding Disclosure Of Trump's Phone Logs From January Sixth Capital Riot

International Business Times
The BBC is seeking Donald Trump's phone logs and diaries as part of a legal defense against his massive defamation lawsuit.

Summary

The BBC is engaged in a legal battle in a Florida federal court against Donald Trump, who has filed a $10 billion defamation claim following a Panorama documentary. The broadcaster is demaning the disclosure of Trump's phone logs, calendars, and personal diaries from the period surrounding the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot to defend itself. Trump's legal team has accused the BBC of attempting to turn the defamation case into a trial regarding the Capitol riot$.

The lawsuit stems from a documentary titled "Trump: A Second Chance?" which allegedly used edited footage to imply Trump called for violence. While the BBC admitted to an "error of judgment" regarding the editing, it has denied defamation and is attempting to have the case dismissed, arguing that the Florida court lacks jurisdiction. TheBBC also argues that Trump cannot prove damages, noting his subsequent re-election.

This legal clash involves significant discovery disputes, including the BBC's subpoena of the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust to assess financial damages. The case is scheduled to reach a jury in February 2027, provided the court determines it has jurisdiction over the matter.
