Trump sues BBC for defamation over Panorama speech edit
Trump said last month that he planned to sue the BBC over the way his 6 January speech was edited as part of the Panorama documentary, which aired in the UK ahead of the 2024 US election."I think I have to do it," Trump told reporters of his plans to sue. "They cheated. They changed the words coming out of my mouth."In his 6 January speech, he told supporters in Washington: "We're going to walk down to the Capitol, and we're going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women."More than 50 minutes later in the speech, he said: "And we fight. We fight like hell."In the Panorama programme, a clip showed him as saying: "We're going to walk down to the Capitol... and I'll be there with you. And we fight. We fight like hell."The BBC acknowledged that the edit had given "the mistaken impression" he had "made a direct call for violent action" before a riot at the US Capitol.
