@BBC Because Trump has refused to sue for corporate damages to avoid disclosing the financial records of roughly 400 entities in his family trust, Trump’s lawyers successfully petitioned the court in August 2026 to narrow the lawsuit strictly to personal reputational harm, dropping the claims of corporate financial loss. This means the BBC can subpoena Trump to testify among other things that he has no financial reputation to protect since US banks red flagged Trump from personal business loans, after the bankruptcy of The Taj Mahal Casino and Hotel in Atlantic City. BBC should have access to Trumps bank account and loan status since 1999. If he refuses to testify, justice has miscarried or the case is terminally prejudiced and should be dismissed.
