Trump is suing the BBC: A legal expert explains how the case could play out
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story. The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism"
President Donald Trump filed a $10bn lawsuit in Florida against the BBC alleging defamation and violations of trade practices after a Panorama episode included a misleadingly edited clip of his January 6, 2021, speech. The BBC admitted the Panorama footage was misleading, having clipped together two parts of Trump's speech, and the episode’s fallout led to the resignation of two BBC executives and Trump's threat to sue for $1 billion unless the episode was retracted. Legal assessment requires examining statutory defamation standards and how courts and litigants are likely to handle such claims in practice. Defamation law permits remedies when false allegations damage reputation.
