"No one forced Plaintiff to file this lawsuit and to dispute that his speech on January 6 incited the violence that followed at the Capitol."
Heh. BBC's counsel's reply sums it up, nicely.
In opposing Jack Smith sitting for a deposition, Trump's counsel has the weakest argument: Smith wasn't there. LOLOL
Trump has a few choices but all are bad, including voluntarily withdrawing his lawsuit, as it may end up being dismissed with prejudice and resulting in Trump having to owe fees and costs to the BBC. Doubtful he's going to sit for a deposition where his testimony will be used against him in the future by others seeking $ from him.
