Overview
- Cho filed a motion for a protective order on July 17 to stop a deposition that had been noticed for July 23, saying her lawyers had scheduling conflicts and offered alternate dates.
- A Connecticut judge has ordered Cho to turn over any conversations with journalists about the divorce and to explain why she transferred $500,000 from a joint account to her teenage daughter in October 2025.
- Reporting indicates Cho objected to some discovery requests but may have provided at least some communications at a July 24 virtual hearing; multiple outlets say it remains unclear whether the July 23 deposition went forward or was rescheduled.
- Court papers filed earlier in the case contain reciprocal, contested claims that Elliott removed furniture and pets and that jewelry went missing while Elliott accuses Cho of monitoring behavior and erratic conduct.
- Both parties are public broadcast journalists, so the judge’s disclosure orders could tighten financial scrutiny and increase reputational exposure as the case moves deeper into discovery and toward further hearings.
