Trump Case Against BBC to Go to Trial in February 2027
Judge Roy K. Altman denied BBC's motion to delay discovery in Trump’s $10 billion defamation suit over edited January 6 speech in a Panorama documentary.
- On February 11, Judge Roy K. Altman set a trial for February 15, 2027, in Miami for Trump’s lawsuit against the BBC.
- A leaked 2025 report showed Panorama spliced Jan. 6 remarks to imply Trump urged supporters to attack the Capitol, leading to his lawsuit filed in December.
- A BBC spokesperson Samir Shah apologised after Michael Prescott's leaked report showed the edit gave the impression of a direct call for violent action.
- Judge Roy K. Altman rejected attempts to delay discovery and ordered a February 9, 2027 calendar call ahead of the February 15, 2027 trial after lawyers for the BBC argued personal jurisdiction and venue.
- Discovery could force the BBC to produce internal emails, and the lawsuit is the latest in a string of legal actions Trump has taken against media companies, risking reputational and legal consequences.
