The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most sources agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

The BBC asked a U.S. court to help obtain documents and testimony from Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner in President Donald Trump’s $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the broadcaster. Court filings say BBC lawyers attempted in May to serve subpoenas on Trump Jr. and Ivanka Trump. The broadcaster argues the three have “personal knowledge” and likely possess records relevant to elements of Trump’s claims. The lawsuit is tied to a BBC Panorama broadcast.
