Trump Lawyers Miss $10B Lawsuit Deadline, Judge Demands Explanation
Judge Roy Altman ordered Trump’s lawyers to explain a missed response deadline as the BBC seeks dismissal of the $10 billion defamation case.
- District Judge Roy Altman ordered President Donald Trump's legal team to explain by June 10 why they missed Friday's deadline to respond to the BBC's motion to dismiss the $10 billion lawsuit.
- President Trump filed the $10 billion defamation suit last year, accusing the BBC of splicing clips from his Jan. 6, 2021, speech to falsely suggest he urged supporters to "fight like hell."
- Instead of responding, Trump's lawyers submitted two eleventh-hour motions, while legal expert Bob Corn-Revere told CNN the suit "does not have any legal basis," calling it "the president's latest effort to intimidate media companies."
- The BBC is arguing the Florida court lacks jurisdiction over the documentary, while Judge Altman considers whether the broadcaster's motion to dismiss should be deemed unopposed.
- Funded by a mandatory license fee in the United Kingdom, the BBC reported $7.9 billion in total revenue last fiscal year as the case proceeds in the Southern District of Florida.
