美国法官已下令总统特朗普在其对英国广播公司（BBC）提起的100亿美元诽谤诉讼中出席证人作证，要求其在12月11日前完成宣誓作证24。法官警告，如果特朗普不遵守该命令，这起诉讼可能会被驳回4。
特朗普声称BBC对其2021年1月6日国会大厦事件前的演讲进行了"故意、恶意、欺骗性的篡改"2。BBC随后为该错误道歉，承认该广播给人"总统直接呼吁暴力行动"的错误印象2。BBC辩称纪录片不符合诽谤法律标准，且在美国不可获取2。特朗普此前因"国家重要事务"取消了10月16日原定的证词2，而BBC律师表示发现期仅剩两个月，仍未能完成对特朗普的证词2。
A U.S. judge has mandated that President Trump sit for a deposition under oath in his $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the British Broadcasting Corporation, with the testimony required to be completed by December 11 24. The ruling came after Trump's lawyers and BBC counsel disputed the timing and scope of witness examination proceedings in the case 1.
Trump alleges that the BBC engaged in "intentional, malicious, and deceptive editing" of his speech prior to the January 6 Capitol riot 2. The broadcaster subsequently apologized, stating that its documentary created the false impression that "the President directly called for violent action" 2. According to BBC lawyers, just two months remain in the discovery period, yet Trump's testimony had not yet been completed 2.
The defendant network has argued that the documentary does not meet legal standards for defamation and is not accessible within the United States 2. In October, Trump postponed a previously scheduled deposition on October 16, citing "matters of national importance" related to his campaign 2. The judge's order carries consequences: if Trump fails to comply, the lawsuit may be dismissed 4.
