Trump v The BBC: What Next In The $1bn Threat? | Fame Under Fire [CLdnBvaBwEb]
Why is Trump threatening to sue the BBC in Florida? Why $1bn? How could the BBC defend itself from a defamation lawsuit? Host Anoushka Mutanda-Dougherty and resident trial attorney Shaun Kent analyse US President Donald Trump’s threat of legal action against the BBC. Trump told Fox News he had an "obligation" to sue the BBC over the way a section of his speech was edited in a Panorama documentary. BBC chair Samir Shah has previously apologised for an "error of judgement" over the edit. Got questions?
