President Donald Trump has filed a sweeping $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the BBC, accusing the British broadcaster of deceptively editing his Jan. 6, 2021, speech in a documentary aired ahead of the 2024 U.S. presidential election.
The complaint, filed Monday in federal court in Miami, alleges that a BBC "Panorama" documentary titled Trump: A Second Chance misrepresented Trump's remarks by stitching together nonconsecutive portions of his speech to falsely suggest he encouraged violence. Trump's legal team argues the edits amounted to election interference and caused significant reputational harm.
According to the lawsuit, the documentary combined Trump's early call for supporters to march to the Capitol with a statement made nearly an hour later in which he urged them to "fight like hell," while omitting his instruction to protest "peacefully and patriotically." His attorneys contend that the editing created a misleading narrative that portrayed Trump as directly inciting the Capitol riot.
