A federal magistrate judge in Miami has ordered President Donald Trump to sit for a deposition by December 11 in his $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the BBC. The ruling rejects Trump's request to postpone testimony until January or bar videotaping, citing his choice to initiate litigation. The case centers on allegations that a BBC documentary misleadingly edited Trump’s January 6 speech to imply he urged supporters to attack the Capitol.
