> A US judge ordered Donald Trump to answer questions under oath by December 11 in his defamation suit against the BBC. His lawyers say he can be questioned from January 11 to 22 next year and reject the claim that he avoided a deposition. The case concerns the BBC’s editing of parts of Trump’s January 6, 2021 speech; the broadcaster apologized for creating a false impression and has asked the court to dismiss the suit.
