Trump first filed the lawsuit last year, over a documentary that featured spliced together portions of his speech he gave outside the White House on January 6, 2021. The lawsuit alleges the film Miss Lead Viewers and falsely depicted his remarks. It was supposed to sit for a deposition on Friday, but his lawyers told the BBC last month that he wouldn't be available because of, quote, other matters of national importance. If Trump fails to answer questions in the case, he could face penalties which include dismissal of the suit.”
