*BREAKING:* A federal judge has ordered President Trump to sit for a deposition by December 11 in his $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the BBC, warning that failure to comply could result in sanctions, including dismissal of the case. The order follows complaints from BBC attorneys that Trump canceled his scheduled October 16 deposition, citing a “matter of national importance.” The judge set the deadline ahead of the December 18 discovery cutoff, unless that period is extended.
