"I think I have an obligation to do it, you can't allow people to do that. 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 [the UK]. 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."
"A legal letter, from Trump counsel Alejandro Brito, has demanded that false, defamatory, disparaging, and inflammatory statements made about Trump be retracted immediately. The letter says if the BBC does not comply, the president will be left with no alternative but to enforce his legal and equitable rights, all of which are expressly reserved and are not waived, including by filing legal action for no less than 1,000,000,000 dollars in damages."
"Director-general Tim Davie quit on Sunday amid criticisms over the editing of a speech by Trump before the attack on the US Capitol on January 6 2021 in an edition of Panorama which aired last year just before the 2024 presidential election. The US president reiterated his threat of launching a $1bn legal action during an interview on Fox News."
Director-general Tim Davie quit amid criticism over the editing of Donald Trump's January 6, 2021 speech in a Panorama episode that aired just before the 2024 presidential election. The broadcast combined words from sections of the speech nearly an hour apart, creating the impression that Trump urged the crowd to march on the Capitol. Trump called the editing fraudulent, said the BBC 'defrauded the public', and reiterated a $1bn legal threat. Counsel Alejandro Brito demanded immediate retractions and reserved legal and equitable rights. MPs and BBC staff called for Robbie Gibb's removal from the corporation's board, and internal meetings addressed weaponised criticism and governance scrutiny.
