"US President Donald Trump has threatened to sue the BBC for $1bn over an edited clip that has plunged the broadcaster into a public relations crisis and prompted the resignations of two top executives. In a letter sent to the BBC, Trump's legal team has demanded the retraction of false, defamatory, disparaging, misleading, and inflammatory statements contained in a Panorama documentary aired a week before the 2024 US presidential election."
"The letter, written by Trump lawyer Alejandro Brito, gives the BBC until Friday to provide a full and fair retraction of the documentary and appropriately compensate President Trump for the harm caused, or face legal action in the US state of Florida. The BBC is on notice. PLEASE GOVERN YOURSELF ACCORDINGLY, says the letter, which was widely circulated on social media."

An internal BBC memo leaked criticism that producers edited Trump’s remarks to imply direct encouragement of the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot, noting timing discrepancies around the “We fight like hell” line.
