Trump urges court to reject BBC’s bid to secure records from his family in defamation case
President Donald Trump has urged a federal judge to reject the BBC's request for the court's help in securing testimony and documents from three family members in response to his $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the British broadcaster. The BBC is attempting to gain "politically-driven leverage" over Trump by serving subpoenas on daughter Ivanka Trump, son-in-law Jared Kushner, and son Donald Trump Jr., according to the president's personal lawyers, who argued in a court filing.
U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Kuntz in Miami has not yet ruled on the dispute, which was inherited from another judge less than a week ago.
