Donald Trump has been ordered to answer questions under oath in his lawsuit against the BBC over an episode of Panorama that combined two separate sections of a speech he gave in 2021.
The legal dispute centres on the programme’s editing of the speech. The material was presented by bringing together excerpts from different parts of Trump’s address, a decision that has led to the action against the broadcaster.
As part of the proceedings, Trump must now provide answers under oath. The supplied information does not set out the questions he will face, the date of the questioning or the BBC’s detailed response to the lawsuit.
The order marks the latest known development in the case. Further details about the legal arguments, the evidence to be examined and any potential outcome were not provided.
