Donald Trump’s legal team is making an 11th-hour attempt to block a court order that would grant the BBC access to the president’s financial records, as part of his multibillion-dollar lawsuit against the British broadcaster.
Trump claims that the BBC’s 2024 documentary on the January 6 attacks have damaged the president’s business interests. In July, a Miami-based judge ruled that the president would have to start handing over detailed financial records to the BBC by 6 August. The records would reveal details into the hundreds of businesses owned by the US president’s family trust.
Trump’s attorneys asked the court on Wednesday to temporarily pause the enforcement of the court order, arguing the BBC had demanded a “shockingly broad amount of information based on clearly political motivations”.
Trump’s lawyers also asked the court to amend their initial lawsuit to instead focus on the “reputation harm” that was caused by the documentary, which would keep necessary disclosures “proportional to the needs of the case”, the lawyers said.
