The BBC has requested access to former U.S. President Donald Trump's diaries, phone logs, and related communications as part of the legal discovery process in his $10 billion defamation lawsuit. The broadcaster argues that the records could help clarify key events, communications, and claims central to the case. Trump's lawsuit alleges the BBC damaged his reputation through its reporting, while the broadcaster denies wrongdoing and is defending its journalism in court. The discovery request marks a significant step in the high-profile legal battle, with both sides preparing evidence as the case proceeds through the U.S. judicial system. (PC: BBC)
