BBC asks Florida court to authorize subpoenas for Trump family members in defamation suit

TL;DR

The BBC is seeking court authorization to subpoena Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump, and Jared Kushner.
These subpoenas are part of the BBC's legal defense against President Trump's $10 billion defamation lawsuit.
The lawsuit centers on a BBC Panorama documentary that edited a speech by President Trump before the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol attack.
Trump's legal team alleges the BBC intentionally misled viewers by splicing speech clips to imply he called for violence.
The BBC previously apologized for the edit, which gave a mistaken impression of a direct call for violent action.
Attempts to serve subpoenas to the Trump family members in May were unsuccessful.
The BBC argues the family members are material witnesses, citing their presence in the Oval Office during speech revisions and Kushner's draft statement condemning violence.
