Judge orders Trump to give deposition for his $10 billion defamation lawsuit against BBC

What happened: A judge ordered President Donald Trump to sit for a deposition in his $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the BBC, with a deadline of Dec. 11 unless the discovery deadline is extended beyond Dec. 18. Key numbers: $10 billion lawsuit; deposition due by Dec. Why it matters: The order followed BBC legal counsel complaints about delay after Trump canceled the October deposition, and the BBC had filed a motion to compel his testimony. The BBC has apologized for the edit and pulled the program but argues the mistake is not enough for a defamation claim. Coverage: 9 outlets in 24h
