The corporation is stepping up its attempts to compel the US President's son Donald Trump Jr, daughter Ivanka Trump and son-in-law Jared Kushner to give evidence as part of the ongoing lawsuit over a 2024 Panorama episode

The US President has taken the broadcaster to court over an episode of Panorama that aired in the UK a week before the 2024 election, but was not broadcast in the United States

The court needs to allow them to be subpoenaed through “alternative” means because of their Secret Service protection, the BBC argued.
