A U.S. judge has set a deadline of 11 December for former President Donald Trump to complete a deposition in his defamation lawsuit against the BBC over an edited 2021 speech. The court warned that failure to comply could result in sanctions, including possible dismissal of the case. The lawsuit alleges the BBC’s Panorama program falsely implied Trump called for violent action outside the Capitol. The BBC has apologized and is seeking dismissal on the grounds that the program did not meet U.S. defamation criteria and was not shown in the United States.
