US EditionTrump says he has 'obligation' to sue BBC over speech edit
- President Donald Trump said he has an obligation to sue the BBC over an edited section of his January 6 speech, saying, `They actually changed my January 6 speech, which was a beautiful speech, which was a very calming speech, and they made it sound radical.`
- A leaked internal BBC memo last week and a Panorama edit prompted renewed scrutiny, noting the edit suggested Trump encouraged the Capitol riot and he used fight or fighting 20 times elsewhere.
- The lawyers' demand sets a 22:00 GMT on Friday deadline for the BBC to respond after receiving a letter on Sunday demanding retraction, apology, and compensation.
- The editorial fallout prompted the resignations of Tim Davie, BBC director general, and Deborah Turness, BBC head of news, while Davie told staff in a BBC staff call on Tuesday, `We have made some mistakes that have cost us, but we need to fight`.
- Noting precedent, Trump has settled with CBS News and ABC News and sought action against the New York Times, while Downing Street said it is a matter for the BBC.
