⚖️ BBC Subpoenas Trump Family in Jan. 6 Panorama Lawsuit

The BBC is seeking to subpoena members of Donald Trump's family as part of a lawsuit stemming from its 2021 Panorama documentary about the January 6 Capitol riot.

BBC lawyers argue Trump's family members "have personal knowledge" of his intentions during the speech he delivered outside the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. The subpoenas are part of the network's legal defense in the case.

The lawsuit centers on the BBC's coverage of the events surrounding the Capitol attack, with the family subpoenas representing a significant escalation in the discovery phase of the proceedings.

⚖️ Judge Tosses Trump Admin's Antisemitism Lawsuit Against Harvard

A federal judge dismissed the Trump administration's civil rights lawsuit against Harvard University on Thursday, ruling the case lacked legal merit.

U.S. District Judge Richard Stearns in Boston found the administration had not plausibly demonstrated an ongoing violation of Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, ruling that the alleged incidents of antisemitism on campus did not meet that threshold. The suit had accused Harvard of failing to protect Jewish and Israeli students from harassment during pro-Palestinian protests.

The dismissal is the latest setback for the Trump administration's legal campaign targeting Harvard over its response to Gaza war protests on campus.
