TRUMP’S $10 BILLION DEFAMATION LAWSUIT AGAINST BBC ALLOWED TO PROCEED OVER JANUARY 6 SPEECH EDIT
A federal judge in Florida has ruled that President Donald Trump’s defamation lawsuit against the BBC can proceed over a Panorama documentary that edited together separate parts of his January 6, 2021 speech. Judge Jeffrey Kuntz found that Trump had plausibly alleged that the edit created a misleading impression and could support an inference that the BBC knew or should have known the segment was inaccurate. The judge dismissed Trump’s separate unfair trade practices claim, and the ruling does not determine whether Trump will ultimately prove defamation.
