BBC asks judge to force Trump to sit for deposition in his own lawsuit against the channel

Donald Trump is suing the BBC for $10 billion in a defamation case. As part of the lawsuit, Trump was supposed to give a deposition—a formal questioning under oath, but his lawyers canceled, citing other matters of national importance. The BBC asked a federal judge in Florida to force Trump to sit for the deposition anyway. The judge has threatened to sanction Trump over his failure to appear.
