Trump slaps BBC with eye-watering $10B suit for alleged defamatory editing of Jan. 6 speech

[FastLane]

Yeah, Trump does have to do those things.

We will see. I bet the BBC settles. Better to lose 10-15 million than risk getting a billion dollar judgement against you. What the BBC did was egregious. Trump could very well win if the case makes it to court.

 

[FastLane]

That is incorrect. He has to prove he was materially damaged.

He can't do that without reveling his financials.

A lot is punitive damage. Plus Trump spent hundreds of millions to try to become President and they were trying to put their liberal thumb on the scale.

He still has t prove damages. That's gonna require actual evidence.

Look, kid. Just stop. You're embarrassing yourself.

 

[Jake Starkey]

Trump has to show his damage, and that means he has to reveal his finances.

 

[Poor Richard Saunders]

None of that applied when alex jones was ordered to pay $1.5 B.

Alex Jones did HAVE to provide all his financial information during the lawsuit but when he refused, the courts ruled in favor of the other side as a penalty.

So you are correct, Trump can refuse to provide the information and he will automatically lose his case.
