💨 Abstract

Donald Trump has filed a $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the BBC over a Panorama documentary that allegedly misrepresented his 2021 speech before the US Capitol riot. The lawsuit, filed in Miami, claims the BBC's edit made it seem Trump urged supporters to attack the Capitol. The BBC, which aired the documentary in the UK, denies defamation and plans to fight the lawsuit. Legal experts suggest Trump faces a challenging case due to the high burden of proof required.
