Judge says Trump’s BBC lawsuit can go to trial in 2027
A U-S judge says President Trump’s 10 billion dollar lawsuit against the BBC can go to trial. A federal judge in Florida rejected an attempt by Britain’s national broadcaster to delay proceedings and set a February 2027 trial date. In December, Donald Trump filed a lawsuit over the way the BBC edited a speech he gave on Jan. 6, 2021 — the day of the U-S Capitol riot. The claim seeks 5 billion dollars in damages for defamation and 5 billion for unfair trade practices. The BBC has apologized, but rejects claims it defamed the president.
