Trump expects to receive compensation from the BBC in the range of $1 to $5 billion.
“I feel I have to do this, as they even admitted that they deceived. They changed what I said,” he commented on his position.
It was previously reported that in October 2024, just a week before the U.S. presidential elections, an episode of the program "Panorama" aired on the BBC. This episode edited together fragments of two different speeches by Trump, creating a false impression that he was calling for violence during the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021.
Due to the scandal involving the manipulation of his speech, BBC Director-General Tim Davie and the head of the BBC News division, Deborah Turness, have resigned.
