Trump legal team claims the BBC is ‘abusing the deposition process’ as broadcaster fights a $10 billion lawsuit
Donald Trump has accused the BBC of trying to harass his family after the broadcaster sought to subpoena members of his family to challenge his $10 billion defamation lawsuit.
The president is suing the BBC for defamation over a Panorama episode that spliced together two parts of a speech he gave ahead of the Capitol riots in 2021.
Lawyers have requested a U.S. court order Trump’s son Donald Trump Jr, his daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner to give documents and testimony in relation to the case.
Subpoenas in response to litigation YOU started aren’t harassment.
Also, even if you ignore this is Trump and just focus on him being a political figure, here’s my response https://youtu.be/S0Vyr1TylTE
“Only I get to punch, if you hit back you’re a bully!” said a sniffling Trump.
Trump employed those children as high government officials.
And he wants to keep it in the family.
I am enjoying that he’s gone up against one of the oldest, biggest news outlets, an organisation that has some exceptionally good lawyers, and knows EXACTLY what the boundaries are. And he’s only now apparently beginning to realise that they won’t just fold in fear like everyone else.
The BBC has been sued on far more solid ground by far worse cunts than that sack of shit.
And since he isn’t President of their country, they don’t have to pay up immediately just to appease him.
I think you mean “far less solid ground” - i.e. they’re on very solid ground here.
No, I meant solid ground. As in, Trump’s ground is currently made entirely from loose gravel.
Aah, I thought you meant the BBC’s solid ground, not the plaintiff. Got it.
You mean the same way you and your lackies harassed Hunter Biden all these years?
May they never know peace again
Trump: Kicks the BBC
BBC: Fights Back
Trump: STOP STOP ITS NOT FAIR YOU’RE NOT ALLOWED TO FIGHT BACK.
Pretty much the MO of any rapist or bully. Or both.
Oh I know, I grew up with this exact personality.
Allow the abuse, defending yourself means your the monster.
As in you were the victim, or the perpetrator? Sorry if the former.
as in I was on the receiving end.
The sad things is that has worked for it* in the past, so of course it* will keep on using that strategy.
* I use the pronoun it because I believe in using the correct pronouns for everyone and refuse to address that piece of shit as a human being
The fucking whining never stops with this guy.
It was a part of his campaign promises
How young are trump’s “children” again? Just thinking that it’s kinda suspicious that they call them children when talking about trump’s full grown adult sons and daughter while when talking about the genocide in Gaza they never refer to literal babies or pre-teens and other obvious children as children
It’s just like how the media were calling the victims of Epstein “young women”. No, the victims were children.
I don’t think it’s possible to harass via subpoena, “judge they are harassing me via your order” isn’t exactly the best thing you want to be saying to a judge.
The bully-victim whines again.
Trump’s always thinking of the children
Trump says
ima stop ya right there
Lies! All lies!
So sue them. I’m sure that discovery process will be fun too.
Lmao. They should play something to annoy that dickhead, similar to how they obliged a Tory who demanded that they play God Save the Queen at the end of broadcast day… but instead with Sex Pistols.
Brilliant! It’s just a pity the credits ended before getting to the “No future” part, given that this was meant to celebrate the UK’s departure from the EU.
