Perfectly normal innocent behavior.

President Trump doesn’t want former special counsel Jack Smith to testify in a deposition as part of Trump’s $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the British Broadcasting Company.

The BBC has subpoenaed Smith to defend itself from Trump’s accusations that the network defamed him with deceptive editing in a 2024 documentary about the January 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection. In a court filing Friday, Trump’s lawyers tried to fight the subpoena by claiming that “Smith lacks any personal knowledge regarding the issues in this matter.

I read elsewhere that DonOLD is resisting BBC efforts to depose him in HIS OWN lawsuit. Can we get the 'crazy' emoji back? How about the 'fuck you' emoji, too?

They want his financial records prior to and after the BBC story so trump can prove he's suffered financial harm. I figure the case will be thrown out and default judgement awarded to BBC. This will give trump one more thing to whine and lie about.
