putawomanincharge.bsky.social83The UK is stepping on him. Love it.
elmjoe17.bsky.social55And the suit will now be dropped in 3...2...1
The Rest of Us Party42The BBC is coming the BBC is coming.
Robert Hill29Happy 250th, from the BBC.
Saneman27"Early win" is the key, but.....
Damian Lynch 🟧 🇦🇺 Rebellion is Mandatory during times of Tyranny25Trump will drop the suit soon enough, TACO on a Tuesday I guess
Craig's Late Night Douche Bag Patrol🦘🦘🦘14What happens when you sue somebody or a big company like the BBC, an international broadcaster, for defamation. And they don't back down. You get found out in discovery.
Sande7It's called discovery, Donald. Gotta love it 😂
Natty🇺🇸🇺🇦🇨🇦🏐🏈🐕🐴📎7Foreign media doing what America media won’t #Blues
I may be invisible, but you're transparent.5Discovery is not this dudes friend and yet....
Tim Murphy5Discovery is a bitch, hey Donald? Watch him drop the lawsuit.
Mike 🇺🇦🕯️3Any discovery with him is a MAJOR win. It’s the one thing I wish he would keep doing, suing corporations and people. Idiot and his awful counsel🙄🙄
Lidia Ferrari3How long until this suit gets dropped? Let’s see what happens when a media company fights back.
rex 🦖3That case is getting withdrawn ASAP 😂
Simon Rosenberg2This is wonderful. Trump is used to those he sues giving up and settling early. Those who fight on through the US legal system get the benefit of discovery. Depending on the context, this can enable one of the things Trump fears most: exposure.
Tr_resident2Trump will be very quietly dropping this law suit.

Curt17Love that for him. I bet he moves to drop it.
deltony14Wonder how one man can undo over 100 years and more of friendship with Canadians and British and still be in power.
northjoyce-1937.bsky.social10God knows the liar doesn't want anyone to find the truth about anything involving him. He's to stupid to know some of the stuff he starts backfires....
Fish Lady Abs9Judge Still Hasn’t Learned That Trump Doesn’t Keep Records, He Destroys Them
Artist Jamie Shelton7As a multi billion dollar news organization that is itself basically being slandered by the convicted criminal defiling The White House with his very occupation of it, the BBC probably could have, and really should have counter sued for the same amount.
Rita6No legal eagle, but discovery can be a beautiful thing . . . Discovery, ya know
iowasufferagete.bsky.social6When is the 🍊💩🤡 going to remember that Discovery is going to prove he's guilty every single time.
Wooden Ellocust Toy (ceramic)3They will fail to comply in some way, stall things out, make various transparently bad faith plays and arguments, but they will never be held to account and not a single one will see a jail cell, because the system isn’t built to dispense justice.
ResistLikeAMF!2Ohhh I fkn needed this titillation to remind me Im alive 😮💨🥳🤠 #trumpeddoToGitmo #ArresTrumpeddoNow
Erik Halvorsen2Crook must turn over papers
Read @joshgerstein.bsky.social on BBC's efforts to make Trump's lawsuit of the outlet as painful as possible. www.politico.com/news/2026/07...
palolololo.bsky.social17He'll drop the suit before he ever agrees to discovery,as always
davemc5192.bsky.social8It’s not to make it painful. They are defending themselves as they’ve every right to It’s a pity US Networks don’t have the same ‘cojones’
Data4Miles4They should ask for the Epstein files too.
Selene3The BBC has very little to fear from a foreign *monarch* - the Little King can't really hurt them in the long term, so the fear factor doesn't affect their ability to maneuver in a global media environment. Go, Beeb! Your American cousins are counting on you.
Larry From Pa2The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure covering discovery are soooo broad. Not looking it up, but it's badically anything not privileged (e.g. atty-client), that is admissible in evidence or might lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. The courts are liberal in what they required be disclosed.
tree-bee2its reputation?!? bwahahahaha *gasp* hahahahaha… “<its>approach to the case has “evolved” and<it>is now pursuing only damage to<its>reputation-not <its>businesses-as a result of how the BBC spliced together portions of<its>Jan. 6, 2021 speech”
• A judge denied Trump's attempt to block dozens of subpoenas sent to members of his inner circle by BBC as part of its defense against his defamation lawsuit. • The subpoenas are part of the BBC's defense against Trump's $10bn defamation lawsuit over a documentary that used a misleading edit of
Scott Horton34his speech on Jan. 6, 2021. • The judge granted the BBC's request to force Trump's company to respond to a subpoena seeking financial documents, which the BBC says will provide evidence to dispute Trump's claim of financial harm since the documentary aired.
Blue-Eyed Samurai10With the event in question occurring prior to Trump's presidency, I guess he'll be picking up the legal tab himself?
ANGEL - BadAss Resister6Discover, discover discover Looks like you're gonna lose, lose lose!
Arun Film 🇬🇧🇺🇦6The difference between our BBC lawyers and Trump's lawyers is the BBC's know what they're doing. Keep losing Trump. 🤡
murphysgirl.bsky.social5Headline: "Trump Loses, Again." 😆
They Say3The ultimate example of FAFO. Trump filed a lawsuit over damages suffered by his companies due to defamation. The BBC requested financial documents proving that Trump's businesses had incurred revenue losses, and the situation does not look good for DJT.
NEW: Donald Trump must divulge detailed financial information from his many businesses as part of his $10B defamation lawsuit against the British Broadcasting Corporation, a federal judge ruled during a discovery hearing on Tuesday www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
I Stand with the People17He drops the case in 3, 2, 1…
Zombie Gus6He'll drop this and call them crooked communists.
The Original Gooch4In addition to the examination of hod finances, there’s also this delicious little morsel: “Lett is also allowing the BBC to subpoena dozens of members of Trump’s inner circle, according to Bloomberg News, in an effort to find evidence of the president’s thoughts and intentions on January 6.”
VivianOfTheSierras2I keep dreaming of a plot twist like this: “Trump undone by his own hyper litigiousness.”
Andy N1I am totally fine with the BBC saving our ass.
Cognitum1He'll drop that shit real fast now.
Tea Pain163Trump will drop this suit right before the discovery deadline.
Adam Cohen (My Personal Views Only)27If you can actually prove defamation-which I seriously doubt Trump can do in this lawsuit-you then must prove you suffered damages. Therefore, discovery of your finances is perfectly reasonable And, usually, all documents filed in a civil case are public records, there for anyone to see
BBC can ask for financial records in discovery as part of Trump's lawsuit, a judge ruled today. www.politico.com/news/2026/07...
westvillagecrank.bsky.social10And the suit dies. Well played, m'lud!
marykay16.bsky.social7He keeps forgetting that discovery is a 2 way street.
scribunda.bsky.social4Trump will either appeal or drop the lawsuit.
Ryan Cordell1Is it too late to place a bet on Trump dropping the lawsuit?
Marcia on Maui1He will rush it, appeal then Supreme Court
