'Fake News BBC, a terrible abuser…': Trump scores legal win as Jan 6 edited speech case moves ahead
US President Donald Trump has secured a significant legal win in his defamation battle against the BBC after a federal judge allowed his lawsuit over the broadcaster's editing of his January 6 speech to proceed. The controversy centres on a BBC documentary that edited portions of Trump's January 6, 2021, speech, allegedly creating a misleading impression of his remarks. Trump has accused the broadcaster of defamation, describing the BBC as “Fake News” and “a terrible abuser” in his Truth Social post.
