President Donald Trump's $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the BBC is evolving into a legal battle over one of the most scrutinized days of his presidency, as the British broadcaster seeks extensive records related to his actions before and during the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
In recent court filings, the BBC has requested a broad range of documents from Trump, including phone logs, calendars, diaries, schedules, and other communications from the period surrounding the 2020 election and the Capitol riot.
