Trump sues BBC for $10 billion over edited clips of his January 6 speech

Fox News Madeleine Rivera provides details on President Donald Trumps accusation that the BBC attempted to interfere in the 2024 election with an edited version of his Jan. 6 speech, omitting his comment on peacefully protesting.

The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) will file a motion to dismiss the $10 billion lawsuit brought by President Donald Trump over its 2024 "Panorama" documentary that distorted his Jan. 6 remarks.

Trump sued the BBC for both defamation and for a violation of Florida’s Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act for $5 billion apiece, seeking $10 billion total. The suit, filed in the Southern District of Florida Federal Court, was filed in a personal capacity and names BBC and BBC Studios Productions as defendants. 

The BBC does not believe the court has jurisdiction and that Trump wasn’t damaged by the documentary. Trump’s legal team isn’t backing down despite the BBC’s efforts to get the case dismissed. 

"This defamation case arises out of a documentary that Defendants the British Broadcasting Corporation ("the BBC"), BBC Studios Distribution Ltd., and BBC Studios Productions Ltd. did not create in Florida, produce in Florida, or air in Florida," the court filing states.

"The BBC is liable to President Trump for intentionally and maliciously defaming him by distorting and manipulating his speech. No amount of attempted legal maneuvers can change that fact. President Trump will continue to hold accountable the BBC and all those who traffic in fake news," a spokesman for Trump’s legal team told Fox News Digital. 

The BBC has come under intense scrutiny over the documentary about Trump’s Jan. 6, 2021, speech delivered before the riot at the U.S. Capitol. Critics claim the documentary was misleading because it omitted Trump's call for supporters to protest peacefully.

The lawsuit states: "The BBC, faced with overwhelming and justifiable outrage on both sides of the Atlantic, has publicly admitted its staggering breach of journalistic ethics, and apologized, but has made no showing of actual remorse for its wrongdoing nor meaningful institutional changes to prevent future journalistic abuses."
