Detailed Factual Report
A U.S. federal judge denied a motion on Tuesday to dismiss President Trump's defamation case against the BBC, allowing the case to proceed.
In December 2025, Mr. Trump filed a $10 billion lawsuit against the British Broadcasting Corporation, the U.K.'s public broadcaster, over a documentary that featured edited parts of the speech he delivered on Jan. 6, 2021, as his supporters massed around the U.S. Capitol in what would become an assault on the heart of the government .
In the lawsuit, filed in the Southern District of Florida , attorneys for Mr. Trump accuse the BBC of publishing a "false, defamatory, deceptive, disparaging, inflammatory and malicious depiction" of him in an episode of the network's "Panorama" program, which aired a week before the 2024 election.
The case alleges the BBC "intentionally and maliciously sought to fully mislead its viewers" by "splicing together" two clips of the same speech Mr. Trump gave to supporters before the riots began. The president's legal team claims the two clips were 55 minutes apart and the edit omitted "his statement calling for peace."
