US EditionBBC vows to fight Trump’s $10 billion defamation lawsuit over Panorama edit
Trump alleges the BBC deceptively edited his Jan. 6 speech to falsely imply incitement to violence, seeking $10 billion in damages for defamation and unfair trade practices.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump sued the BBC for $10 billion, alleging a 2024 documentary deceptively edited his Jan. 6, 2021, speech, and seeking a jury trial.
- Trump alleges the BBC spliced passages nearly 55 minutes apart, combining his call to march with a `fight like hell` line and omitting his peaceful protest remarks, he told reporters in the Oval Office he was suing for `putting words in my mouth`.
- Charles B. Tobin, attorney for the BBC, wrote last month that `our client had no intention of misleading anyone` and included the BBC's public apology and online retraction.
- UK ministers urged the BBC to stand firm and defended its independence, with Stephen Kinnock saying there is `no case to answer` on libel and the Labour Party pledging to `stand up for the BBC`.
- The $10 billion demand far exceeds past threats, with Sir Keir Starmer under pressure to defend the BBC amid UK government support.
