US President Donald Trump has filed a sensational $10 billion (£7.9bn) lawsuit against the BBC, accusing the British broadcaster of deliberately manipulating his 6 January 2021 speech to portray him as the 'instigator' of the US Capitol riots, in what he describes as a direct attack on free speech and democratic debate.
Trump claims the BBC Panorama Documentary, 'Trump: A Second Chance?' spliced together different parts of his 2021 rally speech, stripping away calls for peaceful protest and replacing them with incendiary soundbites designed to make him appear to incite violence.
