Trump legal team asks court to postpone BBC deposition testimony until January 2027

President Donald Trump’s lawyers filed a request seeking to delay any deposition testimony by the commander-in-chief in his lawsuit against the BBC, arguing for additional time as the parties continue to dispute scheduling.

President Donald Trump’s legal team has asked a court to push back any deposition testimony by Trump in the commander-in-chief’s lawsuit against the BBC until early next year, according to a filing made in court this week and reported by The Hill on October 15, 2026.

In the request, Trump’s lawyers sought to delay the deposition until January 2027, arguing for a later start date rather than proceeding on a schedule that would require Trump to testify sooner, the report says.

The BBC, according to the same court filing described by The Hill, argued that it had tried repeatedly during the summer to reach agreement with Trump’s side on a deposition date. The outlet’s legal team said it made multiple attempts to resolve the scheduling issue but that an agreed date did not materialize.

The dispute centers on timing, and the procedural outcome will affect how and when Trump’s testimony is gathered as part of the pretrial process. A deposition can be used to lock in testimony and preserve questions and answers for later stages of litigation, including motions and trial.

The filing posture described by The Hill indicates the issue is being handled through court scheduling and deposition logistics rather than a merits decision. If the court grants Trump’s request, it would likely shift the timeline for discovery steps connected to the deposition.

If the court declines or sets a different date, the parties would face continued negotiations or motion practice over compliance with deposition deadlines. Either outcome can affect how quickly other discovery items move forward, depending on how tightly the deposition is integrated into the broader case schedule.

Because the October 15 report summarizes the arguments but does not provide additional case documents in the materials provided here, details such as the specific court, the case caption, or the deposition date originally sought by either side were not included in this account and are not described beyond the reported scheduling positions.

Why It Matters

  • The deposition timeline can affect the overall pace of discovery in the BBC case, including downstream deadlines tied to testimony and related evidence gathering.
  • If the court grants the delay request, it would extend the period before deposition testimony occurs, potentially shifting when the parties can use that testimony in later litigation steps.
  • If the court does not grant the requested January 2027 timing, the parties may face additional disputes and enforcement over deposition scheduling and compliance.
