President Donald Trump is suing the BBC over a deceptively edited video aimed at making it appear that he incited the riot at the U.S. Capitol building on January 6, 2021.
A whistleblower recently exposed the network’s decision to edit Trump’s Jan. 6 speech in a way that gives the impression that he told his supporters to riot at the Capitol building on that day.
During an interview on Fox News, he was asked whether he would be filing a lawsuit against the network.
“Well, I guess I have to. Why not?” Trump replied. “Because they defrauded the public, and they’ve admitted it, and their top echelon-Director General and the CEO both resigned. This is within one of our great allies.”
The president further stated that the BBC made the speech “sound radical.”
