BBC Faces $10B Lawsuit from Trump
Update: 2025-12-17
Description
The BBC faces a ten-billion-dollar lawsuit from former President Donald Trump over a Panorama episode clip edit. Trumps team seeks five billion dollars for each count of defamation and trade practices law violation. The BBC acknowledged the edit was an error and apologized, leading to the resignation of director-general Tim Davie and head of News Deborah Turness. Trump must prove the edit was false, defamatory, and the BBC knowingly misled viewers or acted recklessly. Legal experts believe the lawsuit faces significant hurdles due to strong free speech protections in the US Constitution.
