A federal judge temporarily blocks a deadline requiring President Donald Trump to turn over documents detailing his business finances to the BBC. The BBC had been scheduled to receive the materials in discovery on Thursday as part of the president’s ongoing libel lawsuit against the broadcaster, which relates to the BBC’s coverage and editing concerning events around Jan. 6. According to the reports, the judge halts the immediate handover “for now,” delaying the transfer of the requested documents while the case proceeds. The filings described focus on whether the BBC is entitled to the business-related information as part of the litigation. The pause means the BBC does not receive the materials on the scheduled date, but it does not resolve the underlying dispute over discovery. The next steps and timing for when, and whether, the documents will be produced are left open pending further court action in the lawsuit.
