President Trump’s $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the British Broadcasting Company is backfiring in his face, as a judge has greenlit the subpoenaing of his inner circle.

But on Tuesday, U.S. Magistrate Judge Enjoliqué Lett said the BBC can proceed with subpoenas for Trump’s closest advisers and confidants—including his family members, Stephen Miller, and Steve Bannon—to make the case on what Trump’s actual goals were on January 6.

Lett also ruled that Trump must hand over hundreds of financial records, as Trump argued in his lawsuit that the episode hurt his many businesses.

    I just want future generations to remember one thing: The guy who defeated the American left twice and brought about the collapse of America’s worldwide power was an utter moron.

      Hahahaha as if this is a difficult thing to do.

      The American left (to the extent that it even exists) has been defeating itself over and over since the end of WW2.
