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.

    Yes! Finally! Fuck diplomacy with these thugs, give an inch and they take a mile, take away their immunity and charge them for every little crime.

      It’s about time all of them get the Pulp Fiction treatment. A nice shot to the balls and let them stay put until the party starts.

      I’m just spitballing here.
