Trump v. BBC Update

By Jordi C. Martínez-Cid

Various news outlets have been reporting on Judge Altman's Show Cause Order in the Trump v. BBC lawsuit. The Judge, having noted that no response to the motion to dismiss was timely filed, issued the order requiring an explanation why and why he should not issue sanctions.

Trump's lawyers responded yesterday saying that opposing counsel had received a copy of the opposition and exhibits by the deadline, but did not docket a response. Instead, that same day they filed a motion to file under seal. The motion to file under seal made no mention of the deadline. The case number is 1:25-cv-25894 for those of you who wish to follow along on your own.
