President Donald Trump has filed a $10 billion lawsuit against the BBC over a Panorama documentary aired before the 2024 US election.
Trump claims the BBC edited his January 6, 2021 speech in a way that falsely suggested he encouraged supporters to storm the US Capitol.
He said the broadcaster “put words in my mouth,” even suggesting the edit looked like it involved AI, though artificial intelligence is not mentioned in the lawsuit.
The BBC has admitted to editing the clip but denies any legal wrongdoing. Legal experts say the case reflects growing mistrust of media editing as AI concerns increasingly enter political debate.
