The Story
The BBC is seeking to subpoena Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump, and Jared Kushner as part of its defense against President Donald Trump's $10 billion defamation lawsuit. In a Friday court filing in Florida federal court, attorneys for the BBC argued that the trio without question have relevant knowledge about the president's actions on January 6, 2021. The British broadcaster is attempting to build its defense to the ongoing defamation suit. BBC lawyers were physically blocked by police while attempting to serve subpoenas on Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner at their Miami residence, according to Politico. GB News reported that the BBC fails to subpoena Donald Trump's family. The BBC wants to interview Jared and Ivanka Trump as part of its defense. The lawsuit stems from a Panorama program.
