Donald Trump filed a $10 billion lawsuit against the BBC, alleging defamation over its reporting. However, his lawyers missed a court-ordered deadline to respond to the BBC's motion to dismiss the case, prompting legal experts to criticize their actions as potentially constituting malpractice.

Trump's BBC Lawsuit Nightmare Gets Worse As Broadcaster Now Demands His Phone Records Trump is suing the BBC for defamation over a 1/6 documentary, so the broadcaster is requesting access to Trump's telephone logs, calendar, and schedules. www.thedailypoliticususa.com/p/trumps-bbc...

Trump v the BBC: a legal expert explains how the case could play out Aaron Schwartz/EPA-EFE The BBC is the latest media organisation to be targeted by Donald Trump’s highly litigious machine. The fallout over a Panorama episode that included a misleadingly edited clip of the US president’s January 6 2021 speech led to the resignation of two BBC executives, and Trump’s mutli-billion dollar lawsuit. How likely is he to succeed if it goes through? To answer this, we must look at two distinct issues. First, how defamation laws on the books apply to this situation. And second, how things might actually play out in practice. Defamation laws enable individuals to obtain remedies (such as compensation) when another party makes false allegations that damage their reputation. The BBC has admitted that the Panorama footage was misleading in that it clipped together two parts of Trump’s speech that were actually 50 minutes apart. However, this by no means ensures that a defamation claim by Trump would succeed. Trump must meet set requirements to prove that the footage was actually defamatory. He would face significant difficulties doing so in both England and the US. First, Trump’s existing r…

Leon Neal/Getty Images Europe/Getty Images Donald Trump Trump legal cases Media See all topics Facebook Tweet Email Link Threads Link Copied! Follow Up until this year, it was unheard of for a sitting American president to sue a news outlet. In just a few months, President Donald Trump has managed to make it seem normal. Trump has sued The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and now the BBC, each time filing suit in Florida and each time alleging defamation. Numerous legal experts have told CNN that the underlying complaints are weak — and that the publicity may be the real point. The newest suit, lodged against the BBC this week , charges that a bad edit to a pre-election film was a defamatory attempt to influence American voters, even though the film did not air in the US. The suit “does not have any legal basis, either on defamation or jurisdictional grounds,” said Bob Corn-Revere, chief counsel at the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression. “This is nothing more than the president’s lat…

Donald Trump wants $10 billion from BBC for allegedly hurting his brand, but the lawsuit backfires spectacularly. Instead of a fat check, the British broadcaster demands his private Jan. 6 phone logs and diaries. Turns out suing for defamation means you actually have to open your books.

Because Trump filed a civil lawsuit seeking billions of dollars in damages, the BBC’s legal team has the right to use discovery to defend itself. To prove that the BBC's characterization of his influence on January 6 was functionally accurate, it has filed 47 subpoenas. youtu.be/0jcebh-b6hk?...

Why Trumps BBC Lawsuit Could Fall Apart | HuffPost UK Politics Donald Trump speaks to reporters in the Oval Office on Monday. via Associated Press Donald Trump has filed a $10 billion (£7.4bn) lawsuit against the BBC – but legal experts have said his chances of success are slim. Documents filed at a court in Florida asked for $5bn in damages for defamation, as well as the same amount for a claim of violating trade practices. Advertisement The row is over an episode of the current affairs programme Panorama which was aired in October last year, shortly before Trump was re-elected US president. The programme edited together two parts of a speech Trump made to his supporters on January 6, 2021, shortly before the Capitol riots. In one section, Trump appears to say he was going to walk to the Capitol with them to “fight like hell”. Advertisement Trump actually said he would walk with them “to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard”. He did not call on his supporters to “fight like hell” until much later in the speech.
