Trump sues BBC for misleading editing of documentary content, seeking at least $10 billion in damages.

Mars Finance reported on December 16th, citing Bloomberg, that US President Donald Trump has filed a lawsuit against the BBC for misleading editing in a documentary released last year, seeking at least $10 billion in damages. Trump claims the editing created the false impression that he directly called for violence in a speech before his supporters stormed the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. The lawsuit against the BBC was filed Monday in federal court in Miami. The complaint includes two charges: one for defamation and another alleging that the BBC violated Florida's trade conduct laws. Trump's side is seeking at least $5 billion in damages for each charge, along with other related costs.
