A judge threatened to sanction President Donald Trump for failing to sit for a mandatory deposition in the $10 billion defamation suit he filed against the British Broadcasting Corp.
“The court has admonished plaintiff for his lack of participation to no avail,” US Magistrate Judge Enjolique A. Lett said in a brief order in Miami. “Going forward, the court expects strict compliance with its order, the failure of which will lead to sanctions.”

If Trump does not show up, put his lawsuit in the bin and bill him for all legal costs.

Should dismiss the lawsuit and force him to pay legal costs of his opponent.

Probably what will end up happening. I bet the judge wants this discovery to progress as much as the rest of us.

But Trump has assets in the UK and the BBC isn't some little people like you or me. If he flaunts the law in civil matters, they may seize his property to pay his debts.
