“Donald Trump faces mounting pressure in his $10 billion (£7.5 billion) legal battle against the BBC, as a judge threatens sanctions over his deposition dispute and the broadcaster seeks testimony from former special counsel Jack Smith. The president is suing the British Broadcasting Corporation over a documentary that he claims deceptively edited his 6 January 2021 speech to suggest he incited the Capitol riot. But the BBC is fighting back, demanding evidence to challenge Trump’s allegations while opposing his efforts to block Smith’s testimony. … US Magistrate Judge Enjolique A. Lett warned on 16 October that Trump could face sanctions if he continued to fail to comply with the court’s orders regarding his deposition. … The BBC says it had sought dates for Trump’s deposition since July. The two sides eventually agreed on 16 October, but Trump’s lawyers later said he was unavailable because of ‘other matters of national importance’.” (10/20/26)
