Judge says Trump must hand over financial records to BBC
A federal magistrate judge ruled that President Donald Trump must provide detailed financial records to the BBC in connection with a defamation lawsuit. The decision allows the BBC to investigate over 400 companies owned by a Trump family trust, though Trump may appeal. Trump's legal team narrowed the case's focus to reputational damage rather than business harm, but the BBC argues the two cannot be separated.
