The BBC Stood Up To Trump And Turned His Defamation Lawsuit Into His Worst Nightmare
The BBC is using the discovery process of Trump's $10 billion defamation lawsuit against them to set up a trial of the president for the 1/6 attack.
It looks like Donald Trump made a huge mistake when he messed with the BBC. Trump did not like a documentary that the BBC aired on the 1/6 attack, so the president filed a $10 billion lawsuit against the British broadcaster.
The BBC has used the discovery process to request documents and information about Trump and his family’s financial dealings. Trump missed a court deadline, but the process is dragging on, and it is getting worse for the president by the day.
Trump watched CBS and ABC pay him off for bogus defamation lawsuits, and since he thought that he had cracked the code on shaking the media down for money while also exerting control over content and coverage, it is logical that Trump would try the same stunt with the BBC.
The problem is that Trump has no authority or ability to use his office to harm the BBC, so they are in a position to do what First Amendment lawyers advised ABC and CBS to do.
The BBC is fighting Trump in court.
The most recent batch of filings in the case took an ominous turn for Trump and suggested that he is on the cusp of the one thing that he has been trying to avoid for five years. Trump's role in the 1/6 attack could have its day in court.
