> A federal judge ordered Donald Trump to answer questions under oath in the discovery phase of his $10bn lawsuit against the BBC, warning that failure to cooperate could result in dismissal. The case concerns a BBC documentary that edited together separate parts of Trump’s speech before the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack. The BBC apologised for the edit but disputes the defamation claim.
