Trump vows to sue the BBC for $1 billion over its edit of his January 6 speech. [xDhAX4wbHBR]
President Donald Trump is preparing to sue the BBC for $1 billion, saying the network edited his January 6, 2021 speech in a misleading way for a Panorama documentary aired before the 2024 election. His legal team argues the program stitched together separate parts of the speech to make it appear he encouraged violence while leaving out his call for peaceful protest. The dispute intensified after the BBC chair admitted the edit created a wrong impression, and two top BBC executives resigned following a leaked memo criticizing the documentary. Trump welcomed the resignations and said the edit spread widely online and harmed his reputation. His lawyers have given the BBC until November 14 to retract the broadcast and offer compensation or face legal action in Florida.
