Trump Plans $1–$5 Billion Lawsuit Against BBC Over Panorama Edit of Jan. 6 Speech

A report published on November 15, citing the New York Post, indicates that U.S. President Donald Trump floated a potential lawsuit against the BBC over how a Panorama segment edited his January 6 remarks. He reportedly discussed pursuing action next week with damages estimated between $1 billion and $5 billion and planned to brief UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer over the weekend.

The BBC countered that its lawyers had replied to correspondence from Trump’s legal team, while BBC Chairman Samir Shah sent a personal letter to the White House apologizing for the editing.
