前白宫律师泰·科布表示，特朗普总统很可能会跳过强制宣誓作证，或者在中途退场，他预测这将导致总统起诉英国广播公司（BBC）的诉讼最终被驳回。
Former White House attorney Ty Cobb said President Trump would likely skip a mandated deposition or walk out in the middle, which he predicted would lead to the eventual dismissal of the president's lawsuit against the British Broadcasting Company (BBC).
周四晚间，在一名法官裁定特朗普必须在其针对英国广播公司的100亿美元诉讼中接受宣誓作证后，科布接受了CNN主播艾琳·伯内特的采访。科布说，特朗普很可能会像以前一次那样跳过宣誓作证，法官将驳回此案。科布说：“他们试图获得他的宣誓作证，这是他们的权利，否则案件将被驳回。”
Cobb joined CNN’s Erin Burnett Thursday night after a judge said Trump must sit for a deposition in his $10 billion suit against the British broadcaster. Cobb said Trump would likely skip the deposition, as he has done once before, and the judge would throw out the case. “They’re trying to get his deposition, which they’re entitled to, or the case will be dismissed,” Cobb said.
特朗普起诉BBC，指控其在一部纪录片中诽谤他，该片将他在2021年1月6日的演讲片段拼接在一起，使其看起来像是在呼吁暴力。BBC承认了该错误并更换了领导层，但否认其行为构成诽谤。科布表示，这起诉讼适得其反，凸显了BBC与其他特朗普起诉过的媒体机构不同，据这位前白宫律师称，那些媒体刊登的是特朗普“不喜欢的报道”但属实，而BBC拒绝和解。
Trump sued the BBC for defaming him in a documentary in which parts of his speech on Jan. 6, 2021, were spliced together to make it seem that he was calling for violence. The BBC acknowledged the error and brought in new leadership, but it is denying the claim that their actions amounted to defamation. Cobb said the lawsuit was backfiring, highlighting that unlike other media outlets that Trump has sued for what the former White House lawyer called “stories that he didn’t like” but were truthful, BBC is refusing to settle the case.
特朗普原定于本月早些时候接受宣誓作证，但因“国家重要事务”取消。当天晚些时候，他在佐治亚州举行了一场竞选集会。科布说：“特朗普一直在拖延。他是本案的原告。是他编造了这些指控。”他补充说，特朗普希望BBC屈服并支付和解金，但这并未发生。
Trump was set to be deposed earlier this month but canceled due to a “matter of national importance.”He held a campaign rally in Georgia later that day. “Trump has dragged it out. He’s the plaintiff in the case. He’s the one that invented these claims,” Cobb said, adding that Trump hoped the BBC would cave and pay the president in a settlement, which did not happen. U.S. Magistrate Judge Enjoliqué Lett said Trump must sit for a deposition by Dec. 11 or face the potential dismissal of the case.
美国联邦治安法官恩乔利克·莱特裁定，特朗普必须在12月11日前接受宣誓作证，否则面临案件被驳回的可能。他裁定宣誓作证将进行录像，但不向公众公开。科布说：“特朗普永远不会接受宣誓作证。他很可能会拒绝出席。如果他真的去了，他会在中途退场，除非原告有权并确实获得了他的完整证词，否则案件最终将被驳回。”
He ruled that the deposition would be recorded on video but not released to the public. “Trump will never sit for it. He’s likely to refuse to go,” Cobb said. “If he does go, he’ll walk out in the middle and the case will ultimately get dismissed unless that the plaintiffs are entitled to and receive his full testimony.”
