Trump urges court to reject BBC's bid to secure records from his family in defamation case
- President Donald Trump has urged a federal judge to reject the BBC's request for testimony and documents from his family members in a defamation lawsuit.
- Trump's personal lawyers argue that the BBC is seeking 'politically-driven leverage' by serving subpoenas on his daughter Ivanka Trump, son-in-law Jared Kushner, and son Donald Trump Jr.
- U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Kuntz has not yet ruled on the dispute, which was inherited from another judge who set a February trial date.
- The BBC attempted to serve subpoenas on Ivanka Trump and Kushner at their residence but was blocked by Secret Service agents.
- Trump's lawsuit claims the BBC deceptively edited his speech related to the January 6 Capitol attack to misrepresent his statements.
President Donald Trump has urged a federal judge to reject the BBC's request for the court's help in securing testimony and documents from three family members in response to his $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the British broadcaster.
Trump's personal lawyers argued in a court filing that the BBC is trying to gain 'politically-driven leverage' over him by serving subpoenas on his daughter Ivanka Trump, son-in-law Jared Kushner, and son Donald Trump Jr.
U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Kuntz in Miami did not immediately rule on the dispute. Kuntz, who was nominated to the bench by Trump, inherited the president's lawsuit from another judge less than a week ago.
特朗普敦促法院拒绝BBC获取其家人记录的请求
特朗普敦促联邦法官拒绝BBC请求法院协助获取其三位家人证词和文件的请求，涉及他对该英国广播公司提起的100亿美元诽谤诉讼。
特朗普的个人律师在法庭文件中辩称，BBC试图通过向他的女儿伊万卡·特朗普、女婿贾里德·库什纳和儿子唐纳德·特朗普·小号发出传票，获得对他的‘政治驱动的杠杆’。
迈阿密的美国地区法官杰弗里·昆茨尚未对这一争议作出裁决。昆茨是特朗普提名的法官，最近从另一位法官那里继承了总统的诉讼。
