Trump threatens to sue BBC over editorial edit
President Trump is threatening to sue the BBC over the way the network edited a speech he made. In a letter to Britain’s public broadcaster, the president’s lawyers said the BBC must retract its documentary by November 14th or face a lawsuit for “no less” than one billion dollars. The network came under fire for cutting out a section of Donald Trump’s speech on January 6, 2021, when he said he wanted supporters to demonstrate peacefully at the U-S Capitol. Over the weekend, the head of the BBC and the news CEO both resigned, calling the edit an “error of judgment.”
