Donald Trump has threatened to sue the BBC for $1bn (£759m) over its editing of his speech in a Panorama episode, even as the broadcaster publicly apologised for the “error of judgement” that has already claimed the head of two senior executives.
The US president’s legal team wrote to the corporation on Monday demanding a full and fair retraction, an immediate apology and compensation by Friday – or else he would pursue legal action, adding: “The BBC is on notice.”
