Listen to the story

Donald Trump must answer questions under oath. This is part of his lawsuit against the BBC.

Trump is suing the BBC about a TV show. The show is called Panorama.

The BBC made this show about a speech by Trump. He gave the speech in 2021.

Panorama joined two different parts of the speech together. This made the speech look different.

Trump says this was not fair. He is now taking the BBC to court.

A court has now told Trump to answer questions. He must do this under oath.

Under oath means he must tell the full truth. If he lies, he can get in trouble.

The case is still going on. We do not know the final result yet.
