Trump is making a Legal Maneuver: Trump’s lawyers are trying to block former special counsel Jack Smith from testifying in his $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the BBC, claiming Smith has no personal knowledge of the January 6 speech. BBC Defense: The BBC argues that Smith is willing to testify, and Trump must prove the documentary falsely implied he incited the Capitol riot, allowing the network to defend itself fully. Broader Strategy: Trump is also resisting subpoenas for his own testimony, his children, and financial records.
