President Donald Trump filed a motion on Friday to bar the BBC from subpoenaing his family members as part of the U.K. media company’s legal defense against Trump’s defamation lawsuit.
In response to a motion from the BBC that asked the Florida federal court to allow subpoenas of Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump, and Jared Kushner, the president’s legal team called the media company’s move “the latest, cynical move in the BBC’s sweeping, politically-charged
discovery campaign.” Trump’s legal team asked the court on Friday to toss the BBC’s motion as the case proceeds.
