US-Präsident Donald Trump will die britische BBC wegen einer umstrittenen Dokumentation auf bis zu fünf Milliarden Dollar verklagen.

Overview

  • Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One that he plans to file the suit as soon as next week.
  • He said he had given the broadcaster a Friday deadline to apologize and pay compensation before taking legal action.
  • The documentary, titled "Trump: Eine zweite Chance?", aired a week before the November 5, 2024 U.S. election.
  • Critics say the program spliced 2021 remarks in a way that suggested he directly urged supporters to storm the U.S. Congress.
  • BBC Director‑General Tim Davie and news chief Deborah Turness resigned, Chairman Samir Shah apologized in a letter, and the BBC said it regrets the editing but sees no basis for a defamation claim.
