Trump Sues BBC Over Capitol Speech Editing | UK News

Donald Trump is suing the BBC for $7.4 billion, claiming they edited his January 6, 2021 speech to falsely portray him as calling for violence during the Capitol riot. The BBC admits the editing may have created a “mistaken impression” and has apologized—but refuses to drop the lawsuit, asking a judge to dismiss it. They’re seeking testimony from Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump, and Jared Kushner, who were present at the event or helped draft a post-riot condemnation. Attempts to serve subpoenas in person—blocked by Secret Service at the Kushners’ Miami home and thwarted at Trump Tower—have forced the BBC to request permission to send them via mail or email. Trump’s legal team remains silent. Trial is set for February next year. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
