The BBC apologised to US President Donald Trump on Thursday for editing his 6 January 2021 speech in a Panorama documentary, but said it had not defamed him.
The BBC said Chair Samir Shah sent a personal letter to the White House, saying he and the corporation were sorry for the edit of Trump's speech that preceded some of his supporters storming the US Capitol as Congress was poised to certify President-elect Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 election.
