Trump's lawyers just created a 'big problem' in his eye-popping BBC lawsuit: experts

President Donald Trump's lawyers made a big mistake in the president's $10 billion lawsuit against the British Broadcasting Corporation, one so big that two legal experts argued on Sunday that it could be evidence of malpractice.Trump initially sued the BBC in Florida in December 2025, claiming the network defamed him by mischaracterizing the speech Trump made ahead of the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot. During the speech, Trump told his supporters they needed to "fight like hell, and if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore," according to a transcript published by NPR. In March, lawyers for the BBC filed a motion to dismiss the case, arguing that the court does not have jurisdiction to hear it because the footage was not broadcast in Florida — or anywhere in America — and that Trump suffered no reputational damages from the network's story because he went on to win the 2024 election. U.S. District Judge Roy Altman gave Trump's lawyers a June 5 deadline to respond to the BBC's claims, which they missed, Reuters reported. Attorneys Brian Kabateck and Shant Karnikian argued on a new episode of their podcast, "Civil Action," that the missed deadline is a "big problem" for Trump's case. "So, Trump files this lawsuit, probably thinks that the BBC's going to bend the knee and kiss the ring and all that kind of stuff and settle with him and pay some money to some phony charity. But instead they do discovery, and the problem with that is, be careful what you ask for," Kabateck said. Kabateck characterized the response Trump's lawyers offered as essentially telling the judge, "The president is a very busy man, so he can't respond to this." Karnikian argued that the response was absurd on its face. "When you don't respond to that, that's a very big problem," he said. "If we did that on behalf of one of our clients ... that's like malpractice to miss a deadline like that. It's like inexcusable."

U.S.-Iran deal to end war "now in place": Pakistani PM

The U.S. and Iran agreed to a deal to end hostilities on Sunday, Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced, with an official signing ceremony expected on Friday, and more detailed nuclear negotiations to follow.Trump confirmed the news and said he was now lifting the U.S. blockade, with Iran expected to open the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has yet to confirm it considers the deal to be in effect.Why it matters: The deal is expected to extend the ceasefire by 60 days, reopen the strait and launch nuclear talks after 107 days of war.The memorandum of understanding would mark the biggest diplomatic breakthrough of the war and buy time to settle the hardest questions over Iran's nuclear program.The agreement was expected to be signed electronically on Sunday after mediation by Pakistan and Qatar, but it's unclear if that has happened.Sharif said the signing ceremony would be Friday in Switzerland.The big picture: If it holds, the deal could ease the global energy shock the war set off. The agreement is designed to restore shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, which before the war handled about 20% of global oil and liquefied natural gas. But it leaves key nuclear issues to be negotiated over the next two months.Reopening the whole strait may not be immediate in practice. Mine-clearing, repairing infrastructure and guaranteeing security could take time before a full return to pre-war shipping volumes.Breaking it down: The agreement calls for the U.S. and Iran to negotiate over Iran's nuclear enrichment and the disposal of its highly enriched uranium during the 60-day window.The U.S. will commit to discuss sanctions relief and the release of frozen Iranian funds, with relief expected to be tied to Iran's compliance.The ceasefire includes fighting between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon, which flared up again on Sunday.State of play: The apparent agreement comes after a volatile final stretch. Israel struck Hezbollah targets in Beirut hours before the expected signing, prompting Iranian threats to walk away from the deal.What they're saying: "The Deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete. Congratulations to all! I hereby fully authorize the toll free opening of the Strait of Hormuz, and, simultaneously herewith, authorize the immediate removal of the United States Naval blockade. Ships of the World, start your engines," Trump wrote on Truth Social.That came minutes after Sharif posted on X that "the Peace Deal between the United States of America and Islamic Republic of Iran has been REACHED. Both sides have declared the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon."Sharif added that the deal was "now in place."What's next: Sharif said Pakistan and the other mediators would "facilitate a series of meetings this week," to be followed by technical talks.The sides have given themselves 60 days to reach a technical agreement on how to downblend Iran's highly enriched uranium and both freeze and monitor Iran's nuclear program going forward. That's a tall order given how difficult it was to reach the much less detailed memorandum of understanding. The U.S. side insists Iran is incentivized to reach a final agreement because sanctions relief and access to frozen funds depend on progress on the nuclear front. Some hawks in the U.S. and Israel worry there will never be a final deal and the war will end with the nuclear questions unresolved.
