The BBC is seeking to subpoena Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump, and Jared Kushner for its defense against President Trump’s $10 billion defamation lawsuit. The British broadcaster argues the three possess relevant knowledge regarding President Trump's actions on January 6, 2021. No right-leaning sources reported this development.
The BBC contends that testimony from Trump’s children and son-in-law would aid in defending against claims made by the former president following the broadcast of a BBC report about his conduct surrounding the events of January 6th. The specific details of the alleged defamatory statements have not been released, but the legal action signals an escalation of the dispute between Trump and the broadcaster.
The move to subpoena family members suggests the BBC intends to build a defense centered on establishing the context and intent behind President Trump’s actions and public statements related to the January 6th Capitol attack. The case is ongoing, and the subpoenas have not yet been granted.
