WASHINGTON, October 23, 2026 — U.S. President Donald Trump has reportedly been ordered to answer questions under oath in connection with his lawsuit against the BBC, a development that could bring new attention to the legal dispute between the president and the British broadcaster.
The case centers on Trump’s legal action against the BBC over its reporting. Testimony under oath, known as a deposition, is part of the legal discovery process in which parties answer questions under oath before trial.
The proceedings could provide further details about the claims made in the lawsuit and the broadcaster’s response. However, the exact scope of the questioning and the next steps in the case depend on the court’s orders and subsequent legal proceedings.
The lawsuit remains a legal matter, and any allegations made by either side should be distinguished from findings established by the court.
