But now the case has moved into discovery, and the BBC is reportedly asking for Trump’s phone logs, calendars, schedules, diaries, and communications from Election Day 2020 through January 20, 2021. Trump’s lawyers are fighting the requests, arguing the BBC is trying to turn a defamation case into a trial about January 6 itself. A judge may narrow the request. Some records may be protected. But the legal problem is clear: Trump started the lawsuit, and once he put his reputation, damages, and January 6 speech into court, the other side got the right to defend itself. Did Trump file a media lawsuit — or accidentally open the door to the records he least wants discussed?
