## Resource

Trump is on a losing streak this week in one Miami federal courthouse in his BBC defamation case, as Judge Altman issues an order to show cause against Trump's lawyers for missing deadlines; the magistrate judge refuses to disqualify herself on allegations she is biased against Trump; and the judge promptly sends the issue of whether the BBC will get to serve 47 subpoenas on Trump World over to the magistrate judge who just refused to leave the case! Popok explains that this little followed case may end up being Trump's undoing.
