Federal judge pauses Trump's financial document handover to BBC on deadline day

Judge Roy Altman temporarily blocked an order requiring Trump to produce extensive financial records covering hundreds of Trump Revocable Trust businesses to the BBC in a $10 billion libel lawsuit. The stay, granted the day the 6 August deadline fell due, lets Altman weigh Trump's bid to narrow the complaint to reputational harm only. The BBC says $10 billion in damages is implausible without business-impact claims.
