A federal judge has paused a court order requiring Donald Trump's trust to provide financial documents to the BBC, which is suing the president for $10 billion over a defamation claim. U.S. District Judge Roy Altman set aside a magistrate's order that the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust produce records dating back to January 1. The delay was granted at Trump's request. The lawsuit stems from a BBC Panorama episode broadcast in 2024, which Trump argues was defamatory. The magistrate's order was originally issued to compel the trust to hand over the documents, but Judge Altman's stay puts that requirement on hold for now.
