Read the whole thread. Subpoenas are exactly how it works.
Uhhhh... how else can he prove defamation? I know YOU believe every word Orange Julius says but that's not how most courts work (outside of SCOTUS, of course).
Is this another one of those giant lawsuits where Trump doesn't understand that at some point he has to go under oath?
Probably not thread worthy, but I saw that Donald's suit against his niece Mary was settled a few days ago. That means Donald caved. If he'd won he'd be bragging about it non stop. Instead just a meek announcement that the suit had been amicably settled.

PReSIdENTiAL IMmunITY!!!! That will be his next maneuver. I can't be forced to hand over anything.
Trump brought this thing assuming they'd roll over, or assuming he'd just get the headline he wanted. If the court allows the BBC to get proper discovery Trump is fudged, and the case will quietly go away.
Too bad for him because presidential immunity only shields him as a defendant, not a plaintiff. Presidential immunity is a defensive legal shield; it does not apply when a president chooses to sue a private entity.
And because Trump chose to file this private civil action, he cannot use executive privilege or his status as president to completely block information requests from the defense.
If the court allows, BBC will make sure it doesn't go away quietly.
