President Donald Trump’s $10 billion lawsuit against a British broadcaster has hit a surprise twist that may not sit well with the president.

The BBC has reportedly requested that Trump, 80, hand over his phone records and private schedules from around the time of the Jan. 6 Capitol riots, according to The Telegraph.

Trump is suing the British broadcaster, claiming it defamed him by “intentionally, maliciously, and deceptively” editing two parts of his Jan. 6, 2021, speech to make it seem as though he had encouraged his supporters to storm the Capitol.

I imagine his diary is written in crayon and some of the pages are stuck together with ketchup.

Every page is a bad scratchy crayon drawing, in random colours, of a stick man (with an arrow pointing at it labeled Trump) shitting on another stick man (labeled Biden).

Both names are spelled wrong and are barely legible.
