Trump Sues BBC for $10 Billion Over Jan 6 Speech Edits

  • Donald Trump is suing the BBC for defamation, seeking up to $10 billion in damages.
  • The lawsuit alleges the BBC selectively edited clips of Trump's January 6, 2021 speech.
  • Trump claims the edits made it appear he directed supporters to storm the US Capitol, omitting his call for peaceful protest.
  • The BBC previously apologized for the edit, acknowledging an error, but states there is no legal basis for the lawsuit.
  • The lawsuit has been filed in a federal court in Miami.
