Judge rules Trump can avoid turning over business empire details to BBC, for now

  • President Donald Trump won an emergency court stay that temporarily blocks the BBC from obtaining detailed financial records of his business empire in a $10 billion defamation lawsuit.
  • The Miami federal court stay pauses a deadline requiring the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust to provide tax returns, financial statements, and ownership records for about 400 corporate entities.
  • Trump's lawyers argued the BBC's request was "shockingly broad" and that disclosure would cause irreparable harm since confidential information could not be "un-seen" if the order was overturned.
  • Trump's legal team seeks to amend the complaint to focus on personal reputation damage, potentially narrowing financial discovery while maintaining the $10 billion claim.
