BBC seeks Trump family testimony in multi-billion dollar defamation case against president

The BBC has sought a US court's assistance in obtaining documents and testimony from members of President Donald Trump's family as part of his $10-billion defamation lawsuit against the British broadcaster. The case involves comments made by Jeremy Clarkson, a former Top Gear host who is also a friend of Trump's, on a BBC podcast. A US court was asked to provide guidance on how to proceed with the request for testimony from Trump family members. This move comes as part of the ongoing defamation lawsuit against the BBC over alleged statements about Trump made on its podcasts.
