Trump sues BBC for defamation over Panorama speech edit
Donald Trump sues BBC for $5bn over defamation claims related to Panorama speech edit. Court documents filed in Florida allege the broadcaster violated trade practices law and defamed the former US President. The BBC apologized in November but rejected Trump's demands for compensation, maintaining there is no basis for a defamation claim. Trump's legal team accuses the BBC of intentionally doctoring his speech, while the BBC has not yet responded to the lawsuit.
