In a significant legal development, a Miami federal judge has put pressure on Donald Trump's legal team. On Monday, the judge ordered his lawyers to explain their failure to meet a key deadline.

The missed deadline relates to the BBC's motion to dismiss Trump's $10 billion defamation lawsuit. The lawsuit pertains to a misleadingly edited clip of a speech, which Trump claims damaged his reputation.

The deadline to respond to this motion was Friday, and the lack of action from Trump's lawyers could result in penalties, according to the judge's order.
