President moves to block BBC's subpoenas of relatives in defamation suit

President Trump's lawyers filed court papers Saturday opposing the BBC's subpoenas of Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump, and Jared Kushner, calling the effort a cynical, politically charged discovery campaign. The broadcaster argues the relatives hold knowledge and records relevant to Trump's $10 million defamation lawsuit over a documentary edit. Trump sued the BBC in 2025, alleging the edited clip falsely depicted him as endorsing violence before the Jan. 6 Capitol attack.
