The BBC had been accused of misleading viewers on Donald Trump’s US Capitol speech more than two years before a controversial Panorama edit aired that led to the resignation of the broadcaster’s director general and the CEO of BBC News.
In June 2022, BBC Newsnight reportedly aired an edited clip of the US president’s speech that, like a later Panorama episode in October 2024, appeared to show him explicitly urging people to attack the Capitol on January 6, 2021, The Telegraph reported.
