美国联邦法官罗伊·奥特曼周三签署令状,暂停执行一项要求特朗普向BBC提交财务记录的命令[1]。这份四页令状暂停了迈阿密法官此前下达的裁定,该裁定原本要求特朗普在8月6日前开始提供其商业帝国的详细财务信息[1]。
法官的决定与特朗普针对BBC的诽谤诉讼相关[1]。特朗普对BBC 2024年纪录片《特朗普:第二次机会》提起诉讼,声称该纪录片编辑了他在2021年1月6日的演讲片段,对其造成损害[1]。他在诉讼中要求BBC赔偿100亿美元[1]。BBC已为编辑道歉,但坚持诽谤指控不成立[1]。法官在审议特朗普缩小诉讼范围的请求期间,决定暂停财务记录的披露[1]。
特朗普还对《华尔街日报》提起了10亿美元的诽谤诉讼[1]。
A U.S. federal judge has temporarily blocked an order requiring Donald Trump to disclose detailed financial information about his business empire to the BBC in connection with an ongoing defamation lawsuit [1]. Judge Roy Altman, based in Miami, signed the four-page stay on Wednesday while considering Trump's request to narrow the scope of the litigation [1].
The dispute stems from Trump's lawsuit against the BBC over its 2024 documentary titled "Trump: The Second Chance," which Trump claims damaged his commercial interests [1]. Trump has sought $10 billion in damages, alleging that the network edited a segment of his January 6, 2021 speech in a manner that harmed him [1]. The BBC has apologized for the edit but maintains that the defamation allegations lack merit [1]. A Miami court had previously ordered Trump to begin providing financial records by August 6, though this directive is now suspended pending the judge's review of Trump's motion to restrict the case [1]. Trump is also pursuing a separate $1 billion defamation claim against The Wall Street Journal [1].
