BBC to apologise for doctored Trump speech: Report
BBC chairman Samir Shah will apologize for an edited 2021 Trump speech that misrepresented his words before the Capitol riot, following backlash from UK and US officials.
- The BBC's chairman, Samir Shah, plans to apologize for a documentary that edited Donald Trump's January 6 speech to make it appear he was encouraging the 2021 Capitol riot.
- In its Panorama programme, the BBC showed Trump saying `We're gonna walk down to the Capitol and I'll be there with you and we fight`, omitting his call to `peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard`, and some 54 minutes later, he said `we fight like hell` while over 2,000 stormed the Capitol.
- Shah is expected to acknowledge that the Panorama documentary could have been clearer that Trump's speech was changed, but he will say there was no intention to mislead viewers.
- The issue prompted fury in the White House, though Trump himself has yet to publicly remark on it.
