"I think I have an obligation to do it, you can't allow people to do that, he said in an interview on Fox News. I guess I have to. They defrauded the public and they've admitted it. This is within one of our great allies, supposedly our great ally. That's a pretty sad event. They actually changed my January 6 speech, which was a beautiful speech, which was a very calming speech, and they made it sound radical. They showed me the results of how they butchered it up. It was very dishonest and the head man quit and a lot of the other people quit."
"The documentary, broadcast a week before the US election, spliced together clips of a Trump speech made on 6 January 2021. The spliced clip suggested that Trump told the crowd: We're going to walk down to the Capitol and I'll be there with you, and we fight. We fight like hell. The words were taken from sections of his speech almost an hour apart."
Donald Trump has threatened legal action against the BBC, accusing the broadcaster of defrauding the public by splicing parts of his 6 January 2021 speech in a Panorama episode. The BBC apologised and concluded the edit gave the impression of a direct call for violent action. The apology preceded the resignations of director-general Tim Davie and head of BBC News Deborah Turness. The legal threat was filed in a Florida court with a response deadline, and Trump has said he feels obliged to pursue the case. Legal experts questioned the likelihood of success under Florida law and availability issues.
