Donald Trump is suing the BBC for $10 billion in a case filed in Florida. He claims the BBC’s Panorama documentary misrepresented his speech on January 6, 2021, causing him financial harm. The BBC edited two segments of the speech, separated by about an hour. In the original speech, Trump said he would walk with supporters 'to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.' According to Huffington Post UK, the edited version made it appear he said he would walk with supporters to the Capitol to 'fight like hell.' The BBC has apologized for the way it edited the speech. The Panorama documentary did not air in the United States.

Trump’s lawsuit includes a claim for $5 billion in damages for defamation and $5 billion for a claim of violating trade practices, according to Huffington Post UK. The BBC has handed over 45,000 documents to Trump’s legal team, but Trump’s team has refused to provide financial information requested by the BBC. Trump has not provided evidence to support his financial harm claim. Legal experts have said Trump’s defamation lawsuit against the BBC lacks legal basis.
