initially agreed to be deposed on 16 October but cancelled, citing a \u201cmatter of national importance.\u201d However, the president was campaigning in Georgia that day, according to the

class=\"articleBody\" data-key=\"articleBody\">A federal judge on Thursday ordered US President Donald Trump to sit for a deposition by 11 December in his $10 billion (\u20ac8.6 billion) defamation lawsuit against the BBC.The order by US Magistrate Judge Enjoliqu\u00e9 Lett came after the BBC&#8217;s lawyers accused Trump of delaying his appearance.Trump could face sanctions, including the possible dismissal of his lawsuit, if he fails to comply, unless the discovery period is extended beyond 18 December.Charles Tobin, an attorney representing the BBC, said that with two months left in the discovery period, \u201cwe still haven\u2019t been able to depose the plaintiff.\u201dTobin said Trump had initially agreed to be deposed on 16 October but cancelled, citing a \u201cmatter of national importance.\u201d However, the president was campaigning in Georgia that day, according to the lawyer.\u201cHe was participating in party politics and prioritized that over sitting for the deposition,\u201d Tobin said.Trump filed a lawsuit against the BBC in December 2025, accusing the British broadcaster of defamation and deceptive and unfair trade practices over a documentary titled \u201cTrump: A Second Chance.\u201dThe 33-page lawsuit accused the broadcaster of presenting a \u201cfalse, defamatory, deceptive, disparaging, inflammatory, and malicious depiction of President Trump,\u201d describing it as \u201ca brazen attempt to interfere in and influence\u201d the 2024 US presidential election.The BBC admitted to editing together parts of Trump&#8217;s 6 January 2021 speech, making it appear he had encouraged violence at the US Capitol. The broadcaster apologised, and two senior executives resigned, but it denied defamation.<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/2026\/10\/22\/judge-orders-trump-to-sit-for-a-deposition-in-his-bbc-defamation-lawsuit-by-december-11&#8243;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/96\/35\/67\/1200x675_cmsv2_f9c4f85b-6275-51ed-894d-d5c346ca682f-9963567.jpg&#8221;] Business Portuguese and Spanish unions in talks over &#8216;Iberian general strike&#8217; Europe News Women protest across Poland over stalled abortion law reforms EU News MEPs call for Yemen&#8217;s Houthis to be added to EU terrorist list Top News Stories Today Latest news bulletin | October 22nd, 2026 \u2013 Evening News World USA [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[90],"tags":[226,36],"class_list":["post-2212467","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-international","tag-crawlmanager","tag-euronews-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2212467","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2212467"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2212467\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2212467"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2212467"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2212467"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
