US EditionTrump calls BBC 'corrupt' and 'criminal' as he claims AI altered speech
Trump alleges the BBC’s Panorama documentary falsely edited his January 6 speech and used AI to fabricate clips in a $10 billion defamation suit filed in Florida.
- President Donald Trump filed a $10 billion defamation suit in Florida, claiming the BBC's Panorama edited his January 6 speech to imply incitement, which the BBC seeks to dismiss.
- Addressing reporters in the Oval Office, Trump said footage had been tampered with and claimed AI was deployed to fabricate clips, though the AI-generated footage allegation is absent from his lawsuit.
- On Monday, the BBC moved to dismiss the case, arguing the Panorama documentary never aired in Florida or the U.S. and said it prohibits unauthorised VPN use while disputing Trump’s reputational harm claim.
- BBC director-general Tim Davie resigned and chairman Samir Shah apologised for an 'error of judgment', while yesterday Trump denounced the broadcaster during a White House event with Irish Prime Minister Micheal Martin.
- The contested episode was already under scrutiny last year after a 2024 episode implied the president encouraged supporters to storm the Capitol in 2021, and a U.S. judge denied the BBC's bid to halt discovery in February.
