Trump gets INSTANT KARMA by BBC as LAWSUIT BACKFIRES!!!!

Donald Trump getting hit with instant. karma in federal court as a judge has. ordered him to turn over all of his. financial records from the various. entities in the Donald Trump trust. Donald Trump claims that he lost. billions and billions of dollars as a. result of some BBC documentary about the. January 6th insurrection that frankly. not that many people saw. Donald Trump. sued the BBC for how they edited a. documentary. Sued them in 2025 and.

Donald Trump's like, "I had nothing to. do with the insurrection. You defame me, BBC, for the way you edited this. documentary that like nobody saw." BBC. gets sued in federal court. Trump filed. the lawsuit in his private capacity even. though it says Donald Trump, President. of the United States, sues in his. private capacity for $10 billion. in injuries. And BBC is like, "Bet. Okay, you're going to sue us. Let's do. it. Let's fight. Let's brawl. Let's go. We want your your financial records. If. you claim $10 billion,

let's see how your businesses were. damaged to the tune of $10 billion. Let's go through all 21,000 of those. stock trades, Donald Trump, in 2025. where you made massive amounts of money. Let's go look at Abu Dhabi and Qatar and. all these Pakistan and all these people. who put money in your various ventures, your crypto schemes, and this and that. We'll explore it because you've made. billions and billions of dollars in 2025. and 2026. So, how are you claiming.

damages? Oh, yeah, you know what else we. want to do, Donald? Let's depose Don Jr. Let's depose Ivanka. Let's depose all of. the individuals in your orbit. Let's. take the depositions of the Trump rat. family and put them on the stand and. then we're going to take your. deposition, Donald Trump. Let's go. Donald Trump's like, "Well, I'm going to. subpoena you, BBC." And BBC's like, "Okay. It's litigation, guy. You want to. subpoena us? Here are our records. Who.

you want to depose? Who you want to take. the deposition of? We're not scared. That's what a deposition is. That's what. litigation is. That's what discovery is. We're ready to go. Okay, Donald, we want. to take discovery from you. We want your. documents." Donald Trump's like, "No, you don't get any. Can I give you three. or four documents?" And BBC's like, "No. Hey judge, compel him to turn over all. of his financials. Compel him to show up. for depositions. We are moving this. forward." And Donald Trump's like,

"We're not doing it. We're not doing it, judge." And then the judge said, "What. do you mean you're not doing it? You. filed a $10 billion lawsuit. You think. you can just get away with it? You don't. think you can participate in. litigation?" Then Donald Trump's like, "Pretty please, judge. Pretty please. Can I amend the complaint? Can I change. what I'm claiming? I don't want to say. that my businesses were injured $10. billion. I just want to say I suffered emotional. reputational harm, not any business. damages." And the judge is like, "Well,

that's not what's in your complaint. Your complaint says that you're seeking. billions and billions of dollars of. business damages." Donald Trump's like, "Can I change my complaint?" Well, you've already amended your complaint. Why are you being so damn pathetic? Do. you see what Trump does in all of these. cases? He brings these $10 billion. frivolous cases. This $10 billion case. That $10 billion case. And he's not used. to someone punching him back in the. freaking face. And that's what you got. to do with bullies. You got to punch him. back sometimes. And thankfully, you have.

the BBC punching back hard, finally. And. you see how scared he gets when someone. stands up to him. Whether it's in. litigation, whether it's in war, whether. it's in a trade war, Donald Trump backs. down when you stand up. And I know it's. tough. I know it ain't easy, but you got. to go right there. He sues you, notice. his deposition, and watch him cower cuz. he's always been a pathetic damn weak. weasel his entire damn life. He's been a.

loser, he's been a bankruptor, and. everybody knows it. Canada knows it, Iran knows it, NATO knows it, Zelensky. knows it, Putin knows it, Xi Jinping. knows it, Letitia James knows it, everybody the BBC knows it, I know it, you know it, we all know it. You know. who knows it also? Katie Phang. Cuz. Katie Phang has sued the Trump regime. for the Epstein files. She is taking. down the Trump regime and exposing them.

every damn day. Katie Phang, a hero in. this moment right now and forever. actually. Let me share with you Katie. Phang's breakdown of this BBC debacle. that Donald Trump trapped himself in. Let's bring in Katie Phang. >> So folks, it looks like once again, convicted felon Donald Trump has bitten. off more than he can chew. Back in. December of 2025, Trump sued in federal. court in one of his favorite venues, the.

Southern District of Florida. He sued. the BBC. And he sued the BBC for. defamation. And what was it over? He. claims that there was an episode of a. show called Panorama. And that that. episode edited together different. sections of the speech that he delivered. on January 6th, 2021, uh which was the day of the. insurrection. And that because of the. way that the editing had been done for.

this show, Panorama on BBC, that it was. misleading. And that Trump alleges in. his defamation lawsuit that it led. people or viewers to believe that he had. directly called for violence on that. day. Now, I'm not here to relitigate. um January 6th, and that phrase will. become relevant uh to all of you in just.

a few minutes, but. because Donald Trump sued for defamation. claiming 10 billion dollars in damages, his lawsuit and the claims of that. lawsuit have now made certain things. relevant and discoverable. Now, what do. I mean by that? Well, what's relevant is. if you claim that you have suffered. economic/financial. harm and that you have suffered.

reputational harm that may have impacted. your ability to do business or to be. able to have better economic outcomes, then your finances become relevant. And because they are relevant, they. become discoverable. Meaning that in the. course of litigation, something called. discovery is the process wherein either. documents are exchanged or you depose. people and witnesses or you have other.

sides um. answer questions under oath in writing. These are just a few examples of. discovery. And so, at this point, because Trump has sued for 10 billion. dollars claiming reputational/economic. reputational and economic harm, a judge a magistrate judge in federal. court in Florida has ruled over Donald. Trump's objections.

that not only can certain subpoenas be. served on members of Trump's inner. circle, but that financials about Trump's. companies must be turned over to the. BBC. Now, I want to stop for a second. here because I think that this is. important for you to know. After that episode aired on BBC, the BBC. chairman Samir Shah issued a letter in. November of 2025. This is before Trump.

sued for $10 billion for defamation. Chairman Shah in his letter apologized. for the clip that appeared on Panorama, the show. And Shah said that they. unintentionally gave the mistaken. impression that President Trump made a. direct call for violent action. back on January 6th. Now, Donald Trump's favored law lackey. Alex Brido, who again is a lawyer that I.

sued his law firm for malpractice and. they were forced to settle. Brido says that Chairman Shah's letter. apologizing to Donald Trump is an. admission, is a concession, it's a. confession by the BBC. And the BBC, though, said, "Look, we. don't care." They've actually filed a. motion to dismiss the entire case. That. has not yet been ruled on by the. presiding judge Roy Altman.

But the BBC says, "Look, it was never even broadcast in the. United States. And among other things, the case should be dismissed." But. because it hasn't been dismissed, and. because Donald Trump continues to push. this defamation lawsuit, now these. financials have become discoverable. Let's get into it because this is. incredibly important. Through the course of discovery so far, as in through July 21st, 22nd of 2026,

the BBC has produced more than 87,000. pages of documents to Trump's lawyers. Because Trump's lawyers have requested. these documents and this information. from the BBC. Now, ask yourself, how much information thus far has Donald. Trump, the plaintiff, the person who's. bringing this litigation in the first. instance, how much has Donald Trump.

turned over to the BBC? Well, turns out they've only turned over 735. pages. You want to talk about a. discrepancy? The BBC has produced 87,000. pages, Trump has produced 735. And according to counsel for the BBC, Charles Tobin, it's been a quote sham production of. only 735 pages. It's only been news.

articles and other material pulled from. the internet. So, it's a big win for BBC to be able to get. its hands on all of these financial. information for Donald Trump. BBC's legal team winning the arguments. in front of the Madresha judge. and Holike Let, judge Let telling Trump. that he must release financial records.

held by the Donald J. Trump Revocable. Trust, which was created to manage his. businesses while he is president. That's. a lot. That's not just one company. That's what's going on, the financials. in the entirety of that trust. So, again, this is a 2024 show or. documentary, Panorama,

and the documentary was called Trump a. second chance and it had a scene from. the speech that Trump delivered on the. ellipse before his supporters, those. insurrectionists, stormed the United. States Capitol on January 6th. And the editing that was done for that. documentary and for that very very very. short scene of Donald Trump, according to Trump, has defamed him and. caused him reputational and financial.

harm. Now, I want to stop for a second and explain. to you. kind of procedurally how things happen. in federal court when it comes to a. magistrate judge, magistrate judge, sorry, and the district court judge. So, the district court judge, of which there are several within each. district, so the Southern District of. Florida has a certain number of district. court judges and the judge who's. presiding over this particular. defamation case is a judge by the name.

of Roy Altman. Each district court judge has assigned. to him or her. a magistrate judge. And you can imagine the district court. judges have a lot of work on their. plate, so they are given an assist by. these magistrate judges who are. brilliant in and of their own right. And. these magistrate judges often handle a. lot of the day-to-day kind of of these. cases. So, discovery disputes, like the. one we're talking about right now, would.

go to a magistrate judge and that. magistrate judge would listen to. arguments, make a ruling. And so, when that ruling is entered by. the magistrate judge, it can be appealed. to the district court judge. So, in this. instance, we reasonably anticipate that. Donald Trump will now appeal this ruling. from the magistrate judge, Judge Lett, L. E T T. He'll try to appeal that to the. District Court Judge, Judge Altman, to. decide to see whether or not Judge.

Altman agrees with what his Magistrate. Judge has ruled. Now, these financial records. are incredibly, incredibly revealing. And so, guess what Trump's lawyer, Alex. Breido, tried to pull. in the midst of trying to prevent these. financial records from being disclosed. Alex Breido tells the judge, "Oh, Judge,

guess what? Uh we don't want you to. compel the release of these financial. documents. So, guess what we're going to. do? We're going to actually limit our. claim of damages in this case. We're. going to abandon. the kind of financial part of this that. his companies and his financials were. harmed as a result of the defamation. We're going to limit it to just. reputational harm. Thereby, Judge, not.

making, you know, making not making any. of these financials relevant anymore.". But, what did the Magistrate Judge, Judge Lehr, say? Judge Lehr says, "Sorry, but guess what? Your complaint, Donald Trump, is so. broad and sweeping in nature. that you've put the financial viability. of your businesses at the forefront of. your claims of defamation and their.

vitality and their ability to thrive and. succeed. Because according to your. lawsuit, Donald Trump, you claim that. the defamation that was allegedly. perpetrated by the BBC has harmed you. financially. You've now made the. viability of those businesses a key. issue in this case. And because of that, those financial records are not only. relevant, but they are discoverable. This is the ruling part of the ruling. from Judge Lett. Quote, "All of.

President Trump's brand properties and. businesses are impugned or said to have. been impugned reputational economic. damages. All of that is now at issue in. this case.". She said this at the conclusion of a. 3-hour hearing. >> More from Katie Fang right here. Let's. play it. >> This means the BBC can now do discovery. on more than 400. companies that are owned by that Trump. revocable trust.

So, here's the other thing. And before I. get to that, before I get to the. subpoenas, let's talk about Alex Breito, the lawyer for Donald Trump. Breito's. like, "Look, um. our approach, our strategy to our case, has now, quote, evolved. And because. we're only pursuing reputational damages. in this case, Judge, and not the. businesses being harmed, the damages are not limited, and it's. different from when we originally filed. this case back in December of 2025.

Quote, "Even if there has been harm to. the brand, we are not pursuing that as a. part of our damages. It's a far more. narrow scope of what this case is. about." And Judge Lett's like, "Sorry. You've now told me you're going. to amend the complaint, but you haven't. amended the complaint, and as we sit. here right now, we are traveling under. what is called the operative complaint, and the operative complaint is the one. wherein you allege financial harm to. your businesses, so that means that. discovery can occur.".

So, we all know what's going to happen, right? There's an amended complaint that's. going to be coming down the pipeline, but you also have to get permission from. the court to be able to do that at this. stage, so we'll keep an eye on that. Now, here's another critical part of. what happened at this hearing yesterday, which is the following. During the course of this 3-hour. hearing, Donald Trump was trying to. prevent certain subpoenas to his inner. circle from being able to be not only um. served, but honored, right? So, talk. about this. Let's talk about the.

subpoenas cuz that's really important. The BBC. has been trying to serve these subpoenas. on members of Trump's inner circle, including but not limited to Donald. Trump Jr., one of convicted felon Donald. Trump's failed sons, Ivanka Trump, Javanka, Ivanka and Jared. Guess who's next? Jared Kushner, right? So, Javanka is being subpoenaed by the. BBC, Steve Bannon. I'm not done yet, people. Stephen Miller.

and Michael Flynn. That's not all of them, but those are. kind of the highlights, right? And the. reason why the BBC wants to be able to. subpoena these people is they want to be. able to explore and obtain evidence. about Trump's state of mind and what his. intent was. when he gave his speech at the ellipse. on January 6th prior to his supporters. storming the Capitol and doing the.

insurrection. And the BBC is has argued or did argue, excuse me, that Trump must show. that he did not incite the riot to prove. that the BBC defamed him by allegedly. implying through the presentation of its. documentary, the clip in its. documentary, that he had done so. See, this is a danger with bringing. defamation lawsuits because when you. bring a defamation lawsuit, you center.

the defamation. And then you allow things like this to. happen. A defendant like the BBC. stating, "Well, we need to be able to. determine whether Donald Trump's state. of mind and his intent on January 6th, 2021 was to incite it. Because truth is. a defense to defamation. And if it is. true, as borne out through these. subpoenas to people like Stephen Miller, Javanka, Jared and Ivanka, Don Trump. Jr., Stephen Bannon, Stephen Miller and.

others, that Donald Trump on January 6th wanted. the violence to happen that ensued, wanted the riots to happen that ensued, wanted the insurrection to happen which. happened, then BBC did not defame Donald Trump in. any way, did it? So, the Magistrate Judge, Judge Led, agreed with the BBC's lawyers. and said. the subpoenas to Trump's inner circle.

are good to go. Now, she did say that. the subpoenas to Trump's inner circle. and the financials. that the information sought may be a. little overbroad, which was a concession. to what Trump's lawyers were arguing, but she did say, and she did say, quote, "I don't believe that a full. relitigation of January 6th is called. for simply because the documentary. itself is related to January 6th.". But she didn't enter a ruling that said.

that you can only do X, Y, and Z. At. least I haven't seen one. Right? So, here's the kind of kicker about all. of this. Guess who is avoiding being deposed in. this case? Convicted felon, Donald. Trump. Lawyers for the BBC stating to. the Magistrate Judge, quote, "They, as in the lawyers for. Donald Trump, like Alex Brido, have. ignored our request to schedule the. president's deposition. They're dragging.

their feet on giving me a date for the. president's deposition.". Here's the problem for Donald Trump. You. are the plaintiff. You are suing. You. are availing yourself of the judicial. system to be able to seek relief for the. claims that you have brought. You cannot. avoid participating in the discovery. process just because you feel like it. And you can't avoid it because you're. the president of the United States cuz. we've heavily litigated this. And if.

it's civil litigation, you can't avoid like your. deposition. So, Trump is in a real pickle. And. that's why I started today's episode by. saying, "Sometimes you bite off more than you. can chew, huh Donald?" Because by suing. the BBC for defamation. relating to these January 6th. insurrection and the speech at the. ellipse and what you've alleged the BBC. has done to defame you, Donald Trump has. put the financials of more than 400 of. his companies at issue.

And he has also put the the ability to. subpoena people, and I'm talking a. serious people. Uh the people are not. serious, but I guess they're considered. to be really high up in the food chain. in his inner circle. He has put them at. issue as well in terms of what Trump's. state of mind and intent was on January. 6th. And that's the reason why discovery. can happen involving them, too. And Donald Trump has to sit for a depo.

I mean, it's an incredibly delicious use. of the rules of procedure and of the. law. And if Donald Trump doesn't want to. participate, then he needs to get the. hell out. But because his knee-jerk reaction is to. just sue for defamation anyone and. everyone, which gets back to my. conversation about the White House. Correspondents Dinner. But because he. thinks that that's the way to go, then. he needs to realize that there are. judges, some of whom are Trump appointees,

that actually follow the law and. understand that in order to be a part of. the litigation process, if you are a. litigant, then you have to. play by the rules, too. So, we're going to watch what happens here. because the discovery in this case is. going to be pretty damn amazing. Let's see if Trump amends his complaint. to attempt. cuz by the way, just because Trump. amends his complaint to try to drop this. idea that his businesses have been.

harmed to avoid this discovery, doesn't. necessarily mean that it won't happen, okay? Meaning that the discovery won't. happen. So, we're going to watch this. carefully. In the meantime, be mad, be. outraged, demand accountability. I kind of like the cage rattling that. the lawyers for the BBC have achieved. here.
