URGENT: Trump Sues BBC for Defamation Over Panorama Speech Edit

Breaking News: Trump Sues BBC for 5 Billion Over Panorama Speech Edit US President Donald Trump has filed a 5 billion defamation lawsuit against the BBC over an edit of his January 6, 2021, speech in a Panorama documentary. The lawsuit was filed in Florida and accuses the BBC of intentionally doctoring Trump's words. Trump claims the BBC defamed him by altering his speech, which was delivered before a riot at the US Capitol. The BBC apologized to Trump last month but rejected his demands for compensation and disputed the basis for a defamation claim. The BBC documentary aired in the UK ahead of the 2024 US election, and Trump had previously announced plans to sue the broadcaster. In his speech, Trump told a crowd to "cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women" at the Capitol. The lawsuit accuses the BBC of violating a trade practices law and seeks 5 billion in damages. The BBC has not yet responded to the lawsuit. This is a developing story, and we will provide updates as more information becomes available.
