BREAKING NEWS: TRUMP THREATENS BBC WITH $1 BILLION LAWSUIT OVER “DEFAMATORY” SPEECH EDIT
In a dramatic turn of events, former U.S. President Donald Trump has reportedly threatened to sue the BBC for $1 billion, accusing the British broadcaster of “defamatory and malicious editing” of one of his speeches delivered shortly before the January 6, 2021 Capitol riots.
According to documents obtained by AFP, Trump’s legal team claims that the BBC “intentionally distorted” portions of the speech in a way that painted him as inciting violence, thereby damaging his reputation globally.
The letter, addressed to the BBC’s legal department, demands a public retraction and apology, warning that failure to comply will result in an immediate lawsuit seeking $1 billion in damages.
The BBC has yet to release an official statement, but insiders suggest the network stands by its editorial integrity.
Trump’s threat comes amid growing tensions between him and several major media outlets, which he has repeatedly accused of “fake news” and bias against him.
