$10 billion BBC trial date set over editing scandal - London Business News | Londonlovesbusiness.com
"Donald Trump is suing the BBC over editing of a speech which appears that the US President deliberately directed supporters to storm the US Capitol. District Judge Roy Altman rejected the BBC's application to delay process of discovery, and the judge will not dismiss the case. Both sides will now obtain evidence from other parties. A BBC spokesman told GB News, "As we have made clear previously, we will be defending this case. We are not going to make further comment on ongoing legal proceedings.""
"In 2025 Panorama was under fire over editing an episode which gave the impression the US President encouraged his supporters to storm the US Capitol on 6 January 2021. The film was spliced and shows Trump saying, "We're going to walk down to the Capitol... and I'll be there with you. And we fight. We fight like hell. On Wednesday 6 January 2021 thousands of Trump supporters stormed the US Capitol, police locked the building down and the House and Senate were forced to take recess..""
President Donald J. Trump has advanced a $10 billion lawsuit against the British Broadcasting Corporation, alleging that a Panorama episode edited a speech to make it appear he deliberately directed supporters to storm the US Capitol. A Florida judge set a two-week trial beginning 15 February 2027 at the Wilkie D Ferguson Jr US Courthouse in Miami and denied the BBC's request to delay discovery or dismiss the case. Both sides will obtain evidence from other parties. A BBC spokesman said the corporation will defend the case and will not comment further on ongoing legal proceedings.
