Trump Threatens to Sue BBC for $1 Billion over Broadcaster’s Edit of Jan. 6 Speech

HeadlineNov 11, 2025

President Trump has threatened to sue the BBC for $1 billion over the public broadcaster’s edit of a speech made by Trump on January 6, 2021, before a mob of his supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol. Lawyers for Trump are demanding the BBC retract the “Panorama” documentary that featured the speech edit by Friday. The threats follow the abrupt resignation of two top BBC executives, which Trump celebrated, saying on Truth Social, “These are very dishonest people.”
