Trump Seeks to Halt Court Order Requiring Financial Records for BBC Defense

Trump's lawyers filed an emergency motion on 5 August 2026 to pause a federal court order requiring him to surrender detailed financial records from his family trust to the BBC by a 6 August deadline. The BBC needs the records to defend itself in Trump's $10 billion defamation lawsuit over a 2024 documentary. A Miami judge had ruled in July that Trump must comply.
