A judge has ordered Donald Trump to hand over years of his financial records to the BBC in his £7.5 billion defamation lawsuit. Trump claims a 2024 Panorama documentary caused massive damage to his businesses and brand, but the BBC needs the records for its defence. The Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust, which holds his business interests, must start providing documents within ten days.
