Judge Warns Donald Trump His $10B BBC Lawsuit Will Be Dismissed Unless Lawyers Produce Documents
The magistrate said Trump’s case could be dismissed if his lawyers miss deadlines for documents, a privilege log and a deposition.
- Magistrate Judge Enjolique A. Lett warned President Donald Trump that his $10 billion lawsuit against the BBC could be dismissed if his legal team fails to meet new November document discovery deadlines.
- Trump filed the $10 billion suit in December 2025, alleging the BBC Panorama program spliced parts of his January 6, 2021, speech to falsely suggest he called for violence.
- Lett stated, "the court has concerns about whether an adequate search for all responsive documentation" occurred, citing the "paucity of the production" in Trump's recent document submissions.
- Overruling objections from lawyer Alejandro Brito, the judge ordered Trump to sit for a deposition by December 11 to ensure progress in discovery.
- The court set November 5 and November 23 as deadlines for privilege logs and remaining documents, while the BBC continues to subpoena testimony from former special counsel Jack Smith.
