Trump Sues BBC for Misleading Editing in Documentary, Seeks At Least $10 Billion

BlockBeats News, December 16th, according to Bloomberg, U.S. President Donald Trump is suing the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) for at least $100 billion due to a misleading edit in a BBC documentary last year. Trump alleges that the edit gave the false impression that he had directly incited violence in a speech before the storming of the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.

This lawsuit against the BBC has been filed in federal court in Miami on Monday. The complaint includes two charges: one for defamation and the other alleging a violation of Florida's Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act by the BBC.

Trump's side is seeking at least $50 billion for each charge and is requesting compensation for other related expenses.
