Judge allows BBC to serve subpoenas on Trump children and Kushner by mail

A U.S. magistrate judge granted the BBC permission to serve subpoenas on Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump, and Jared Kushner by mail and email in President Trump's $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the broadcaster, overcoming Secret Service barriers to in-person delivery. Judge Enjolique Lett ruled the network demonstrated difficulties with personal service due to the trio's protection as the sitting president's immediate family, rejecting Trump's opposition as inapplicable procedural barriers. The BBC seeks testimony from the three, who were present in the Oval Office during speech revisions central to the case. The lawsuit stems from a BBC Panorama documentary that spliced parts of Trump's January 6, 2021, speech, which the BBC apologized for but denied defaming. Earlier service attempts in Miami and New York were blocked by police and Secret Service.
