A US judge has ordered Donald Trump to disclose financial records as part of his $10 billion (£7.5 billion) defamation lawsuit against the BBC. Trump is pursuing compensation for a 2024 Panorama programme concerning the US Capitol riots, asserting it inflicted reputational and financial harm. The BBC's legal team requested the information to assess the financial impact of the programme.
