Judge orders Trump to sit for deposition in BBC lawsuit by Dec. 11

A federal judge, U.S. Magistrate Judge Enjoliqué Lett, ordered President Trump to appear for a deposition by Dec. 11 in his $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the BBC over its editing of a speech in a Jan. 6 documentary. Trump's lawyers had sought to delay until January 2027, citing presidential duties; the judge ruled the case could be dismissed if he fails to appear.
