US: The BBC’s attempt to have US President Donald Trump’s $10 billion (£7.5 billion) defamation lawsuit dismissed has been rejected by a Florida court. The case concerns a 2024 Panorama documentary that misleadingly edited Trump’s speech before the January 2021 US Capitol riots, combining remarks made nearly an hour apart. The judge ruled that Trump had presented sufficient grounds for his defamation claim to proceed, although a separate claim alleging unfair trade practices was dismissed. Trump hailed the ruling as a “huge victory”, while the BBC said it was surprised by the decision but remained confident in its legal position. Join EJN:
