Trump's Legal Team Moves to Block BBC Financial Records Access
Donald Trump BBC Defamation Lawsuit: Trump's Legal Team Moves to Block BBC From Accessing Financial Records · timesnownews.com

Donald Trump is the president of the United States.

He is suing a news company called the BBC because he says they said bad things about him, in what is called a defamation lawsuit.

When people sue each other in court, a judge can ask to see documents that might help decide the case.

A judge in Miami said President Trump has to share his financial records with the BBC.

These records show information about many businesses connected to Trump's family trust.

The judge said the records had to be handed over by August 6.

Trump's lawyers are trying to stop this at the very last minute, with only hours to go.

They want the judge to change the order.

If the records are shared, people could see private money details for the first time.
