US president says he will sue the corporation for ‘anywhere between a billion and $5bn’
Donald Trump has said he still plans to sue the BBC despite receiving the apology he demanded over a misleading edit of one of his speeches.
The row, over an episode of Panorama from last year about the Capitol riot in 2021, led to accusations of bias at the broadcaster and the resignation of two of the most senior executives at the BBC: the director general, Tim Davie; and Deborah Turness, the chief executive of news.
The US president previously said he would take legal action if he did not get an apology but on Friday evening Trump told reporters onboard Air Force One: “We’ll sue them for anywhere between a billion and $5bn, probably sometime next week. We have to do it.”
Panorama is restricted for broadcast in the UK only. Meaning that Donald Trump's reputation in America couldn't possibly have been damaged.
According to a UK based media solicitor he has little legal recourse in his quest to get a monetary settlement from the BBC.
Donald Trump is so lacking in self confidence, immature and insecure that's amazing he can even get out of bed.
