A US judge has set a two-week trial for February 2027 in the $10 billion lawsuit brought by President Donald Trump against the BBC.
US District Judge Roy Altman rejected the BBC’s request to stay discovery in the case, which concerns its editing of a speech that allegedly made it appear Trump directed supporters to storm the US Capitol.
In a ruling on Wednesday, Judge Altman denied the broadcaster’s request to pause the merits-based discovery phase, during which both sides can seek evidence from each other and third parties, according to court documents.
The BBC has not yet commented.
