The order comes in response to a subpoena issued in Trump's defamation case against the BBC, with the first production due in 10 days. The documents must show holdings, assets, and value from January 1, 2023, to the present. Trump's lawyers had argued that the case had evolved to cover only reputational harm, but the judge ruled that Trump's businesses were fair game as they were relevant to any damages analysis.
