Judge Orders Trump to Give Deposition in BBC Defamation Lawsuit

A US federal judge has ordered President Donald Trump to sit for a deposition by December 11 in his defamation lawsuit against the BBC. Trump had cancelled an earlier deposition, citing a matter of national importance. The BBC's lawyers said he was instead campaigning in Georgia ahead of the midterm elections. The judge warned that Trump could face sanctions, including dismissal of the lawsuit, if he fails to attend the deposition or provide relevant records. Trump alleges that a 2024 BBC documentary deceptively edited his comments about the January 6 Capitol attack. The BBC denies the allegation.
