The BBC intends to subpoena Ivanka Trump, Donald Trump Jr., and Jared Kushner as part of the defamation lawsuit brought by former U.S. President Donald Trump against the British broadcaster. According to *The Guardian*, the BBC’s lawyers aim to question the three individuals to gain insight into Trump’s intentions behind a specific speech. They hope to clarify how the public might have interpreted the remarks at the center of the legal dispute. This move suggests the BBC is building a defense focused on demonstrating Trump’s awareness of how his statements could be perceived. The subpoenas seek to understand the context surrounding the speech and potentially challenge Trump’s claim that the BBC’s reporting was defamatory. This development intensifies the ongoing legal battle between the former president and the prominent news organization. The BBC believes testimony from Trump’s children and son-in-law will be crucial in determining the outcome of the case.
