Donald Trump has dropped his claim that the BBC caused financial harm to his businesses as part of his $10bn (£7.5bn) defamation battle with the broadcaster.
His lawyers said they no longer plan to pursue the claim that BBC’s Panorama documentary caused financial harm to the president’s brands and businesses. He will continue to pursue personal damages against the BBC.
The one thing Trump is actually afraid of: Discovery
Which is wild because we already know of so much shit he’s done and literally nothing has been done about it.
Somebody call Michael Burnham for some more time travel shenanigans
Someone had to explain to the child rapist that despite the Supreme Court’s crowning him king and the fact he believes himself above the law, he is still subject to a few minor limitations.
It sounds like if Trump sues you for anything at all, if you can tie it back to his finances or Epstein files, he will drop the claim. I hope companies and wealthy non Trump supporters are taking notes.
We’re all getting daily demonstrations of this tactic getting used against him. Anyone taking notes can just, like, check the news.
Now he’s backing off on the monetary damages, since if he claims them, the judge is going to force him to disclose what his finances actually are. Instead, his lawyers are trying to narrow the claim to reputational damage, which should be problematic since objective measures of his reputation indicate that he’s less well-liked than herpes.
