A federal judge in Florida ruled that Donald Trump must provide detailed information about his companies’ finances in response to a motion filed by the BBC in the president’s $10 billion lawsuit against the U.K. broadcaster.
The judge’s Tuesday ruling could mean that the president’s lawsuit against the BBC ends up backfiring as a major media organization may be set to obtain new, previously nonpublic information about the Trump Organization or the president’s associated ventures, including his cryptocurrency empire.
Trump filed his lawsuit in late 2025, claiming that BBC journalists deceptively edited together portions of his speech to protesters on January 6, 2021, to make it look like he encouraged them to storm the Capitol. The president claimed that the 2024 Panorama documentary at the heart of the suit cost his various businesses reputational damage.
Watch the case drop like a brick
Which is the standard Trump playbook. Sue, make a big deal on Fox news, then drop it before discovery
Deceptively edited. Motherfucker, I watched that shit live. You were calling for the crowd to attack the Capitol, and then they did.
Looks like he’s taking a real BBC pounding
I’m sure he’ll get right on that. Right after he releases his taxes.
