The Aporia · US judge says Trump’s US$10 billion BBC defamation case can proceed

On November 10, a federal judge in Florida allowed former President Donald Trump’s US$10 billion defamation lawsuit against the BBC to proceed, while dismissing his unfair trade practices claim. The lawsuit stems from an edited BBC Panorama documentary clip that misleadingly presented Trump as encouraging violence during a speech prior to the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot. Judge Jeffrey Kuntz ruled that Trump has sufficiently alleged damage to his reputation and that the edits were potentially known to be misleading by the broadcaster.
