A federal judge in Florida ruled that Donald Trump must provide detailed information about his companies’ finances in response to a motion filed by the BBC in the president’s $10 billion lawsuit against the U.K. broadcaster.
The judge’s Tuesday ruling could mean that the president’s lawsuit against the BBC ends up backfiring as a major media organization may be set to obtain new, previously nonpublic information about the Trump Organization or the president’s associated ventures, including his cryptocurrency empire.
