Trump's lawyers are slamming are crying foul about "excessive and impermissibly broad" attempts to put the "events" of Jan. 6 on trial in his defamation lawsuit.

As part of its defense, however, the BBC issued 47 subpoenas of third parties, seeking “[a]ll Documents and Communications Concerning the attack on the U.S. Capitol following the ‘Stop the Steal’ rally on January 6, 2021” — the “same records” former special counsel Jack Smith used against Trump in his dismissed Jan. 6 conspiracy prosecution.

A hearing on these issues was pushed back to July 21. Ahead of that, Trump has lodged his complaints about the BBC’s “impermissibly broad” discovery aims and how it will add to the expense of his litigation against the broadcaster.
