Judge orders Trump to sit for a deposition in his defamation lawsuit against the BBC by Dec. 11

A federal judge has ordered President Donald Trump to sit for a deposition in his defamation lawsuit against the BBC by Dec. 11. The order Thursday from U.S. Magistrate Judge Enjoliqué Lett came as the BBC’s lawyers complained that Trump had delayed his appearance. Attorney Charles Tobin said that with two months left in the discovery period, “we still haven’t been able to depose the plaintiff.” Lett said Trump must sit for a deposition by Dec. 11 or face sanctions up to dismissal of his lawsuit unless the discovery period was extended past Dec. 18. Trump is bringing the case over a BBC documentary called “Trump: A Second Chance.”
