Trump threatens BBC with billion-dollar lawsuit over edited Jan. 6th speech [iVuAEyZHGlH]
U.S. President Donald Trump is threatening the BBC with a billion-dollar lawsuit over its editing of a speech he made in 2021, on the day his supporters overran the capitol. The president's lawyers say the British broadcaster has a fixed period of time to retract the documentary that aired the clip or face the expensive lawsuit. The documentary, which aired on BBC's flagship panorama program a few days before last year's election in the U.S. spliced together two clips from one of Trump's speeches, creating the impression he was inciting the January 6 riot. The revelation about the speech and wider criticism of the British broadcaster in general, has already resulted in the resignation of its top two bosses.
