BBC Files Motion Asking US Court To Drop Trump’s $10bn Lawsuit

The BBC has asked an American court to throw out a lawsuit filed against it by US President Donald Trump.

The Corporations Lawyers have asked a court in Florida in the US to dismiss a defamation lawsuit brought by United States President Donald Trump over the editing of one of his speeches, warning that the case could have a “chilling effect” on reporting.

The British state broadcaster argues that its documentary featuring an edited speech Trump delivered during the Capitol Hill riots in 2021 did not harm his reputation enough to warrant the defamation lawsuit.

RT reports: The documentary, aired just before the US election in November 2024, spliced excerpts from Trump’s speech to create the impression that he was inciting the January 6 riot by telling supporters he would join them to “fight like hell” at the Capitol. The BBC says it did not tarnish Trump’s reputation enough since he was reelected.

The US president “cannot plausibly claim that the documentary harmed his reputation” as he won the election after its release, the broadcaster’s lawyers argued in a 34-page document submitted to the federal court for the Southern District of Florida. They also maintained that the case should be thrown out since the documentary never aired in the US on the BBC.

“In fact, no third-party distributor aired the documentary in the US,” the court submission said. Blue Ant Media, which purchased licensing rights to distribute the documentary in North America, also said its version did not include the edited speech because it was “cut down.”

The BBC argued that Trump’s side failed to prove that it “knowingly intended to create a false impression” and that the case thus “falls well short of the high bar of actual malice.”

Trump filed the lawsuit in December 2025. He is seeking $5 billion in damages for defamation and an additional $5 billion under Florida’s Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act. His legal team argued that the selective editing “could never have occurred by accident.”

The scandal regarding the documentary led to the resignations of two top BBC executives, director general Tim Davie and head of news Deborah Turness, amid concerns about the corporation’s impartiality. The broadcaster apologized to Trump in November.

    Not telling the whole truth makes it a lie. BBC made the decision they made and in my view, 10b is a deal. 100b would give the rest of the lame street media a reason to publish the truth and only the whole truth.

    I’m pretty old and it has been over half a century since we were told the truth by the media that so many people put faith in.
