President Trumpās $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 EnjoliquĆ© Lett said the BBC can proceed with subpoenas for Trumpās closest advisers and confidantsāincluding his family members, Stephen Miller, and Steve Bannonāto make the case on what Trumpās 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.
Itās it possible for the BBC to countersue or do something to proceed so that they can subpoena? I feel that they could arguably sue for defamation given very public statements and actions from the Trump admin against them
Possibly, but donāt count on it. Everyoneās afraid of what will happen to their family.
