Trump Tries to Pause His Own BBC Lawsuit to Hide His Finances

The BBC's motive could not be more transparent—to wrongly exploit this litigation for its own political benefit, as well as the benefit of President Trump's other political opponents," the deposition read.

President Trump on Wednesday filed an emergency motion to stop the British Broadcasting Corporation from gaining broad access to intimate details about his finances.

The emergency stay is the latest development in how Trump's $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the BBC, triggered by a 2024 episode of Panorama titled "Trump, a Second Chance," is backfiring. Last month, U.S. Magistrate Judge Enjoliqué Lett allowed the BBC to move forward with gaining access to the financial information of at least 400 business entities owned by Trump's family trust. Lett set a Thursday deadline for the BBC to get hold of his financial records.

Now Trump is scrambling to stop what he started from blowing up in his face.

"The BBC's motive could not be more transparent—to wrongly exploit this litigation for its own political benefit, as well as the benefit of President Trump's other political opponents," the deposition read. "The moment those records reach the BBC, the injury is complete and irreversible." His lawyers also accused the BBC of having "clearly political motivations."

Trump's legal team is asking Lett to allow Trump to go back and change the language of the suit, so that his lucrative business dealings as president are not subject to public scrutiny.

The BBC has yet to respond.

It seems obvious that Trump bit off more than even he can chew here. If his plea to change the discovery parameters fails, we may see him drop the lawsuit entirely.
