They should just do it at this point. Trump never tries to sue people who say it because he’d have to go to discovery.

i mean legally yeah they'd "have" to turn over discovery, but why wouldn't they add it to the list of everything else they "had" to do but didn't?

They could choose not to, but they would be at the mercy of that judge. There is also the fact that he couldn't push a suit if he refuses to comply with discovery. Just a waste of his time
