Trump sues BBC for $10 billion over Jan. 6 speech edit

President Donald Trump sued the BBC for $10 billion over its editing of his speech at the Ellipse on Jan. 6, 2021.

The BBC has been wracked by controversy since it admitted and apologized for selectively editing Trump’s Jan. 6 speech, with the president now seeking a hefty fine in return in a lawsuit in which the edited clip is described as a “false, defamatory, deceptive, disparaging, inflammatory, and malicious depiction of President Trump.”
