Trump seeks to shield his business finances from BBC in libel lawsuit

President Donald Trump is seeking to block a court order requiring him to provide the BBC with financial details of his business empire as part of a defamation lawsuit. Trump claims the BBC's 2024 documentary defamed him by editing his 2021 speech to imply he incited the Capitol attack, while the BBC argues the records are relevant to assessing damages. Trump's legal team also seeks to amend the lawsuit to focus on reputational harm and limit third-party discovery.
