Trump claims the programme falsely portrayed his January 6, 2021 speech as a direct call for violence by splicing together remarks made nearly an hour apart. The BBC has acknowledged that the edit created a “mistaken impression” but maintains there is no legal basis for a defamation claim. The lawsuit was filed in Florida, with Trump’s legal team accusing the broadcaster of acting intentionally and maliciously. The BBC has not yet formally responded to the legal action.
