A judge has granted President Trump's request to temporarily delay handing over financial records to the BBC, giving him a last-minute reprieve in a defamation lawsuit. Trump sued the BBC for $10 billion over a 2024 episode of its Panorama documentary series about the January 6, 2021 Capitol attack, alleging the program defamed him. The ruling blocks, at least for now, the BBC's access to the president's business records, which the broadcaster had sought as part of the legal case. Trump's legal team had asked for the delay, and the judge agreed. The lawsuit stems from the documentary's coverage of the Capitol attack, which Trump claims contained defamatory statements. The financial records at issue have not been specified in the reports, but the court's decision pauses their production. The case is ongoing, and no further court dates or details about the delay's duration were provided. The BBC has defended the documentary, but no additional statements from either side were included in the reports.
