Judge orders Trump to sit for a deposition in his defamation lawsuit against the BBC

A federal judge has ordered Donald Trump to provide a deposition by December 11 in his defamation lawsuit against the BBC. Trump's attorneys had previously delayed the deposition, citing a national importance matter, which was later revealed to be a campaign event. The judge ruled that the deposition could be recorded on video for attorneys only. The BBC's defense includes a subpoena for former special counsel Jack Smith, who has knowledge of the January 6 events, although Trump's lawyers argue he lacks personal knowledge of Trump's speech. Additionally, the judge allowed the BBC access to Mar-a-Lago membership records to assess potential damages related to Trump's reputation.
