A federal judge in Florida on Tuesday allowed President Donald Trump’s $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the BBC to proceed, rejecting the broadcaster’s request to dismiss the claim while tossing out a separate allegation involving unfair trade practices. U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Kuntz found that Trump had presented sufficient allegations to pursue his claim that the BBC harmed his reputation through the editing of footage from his Jan. 6, 2021, speech. The decision does not establish that the broadcaster is liable.
