BBC admits editing error in Trump’s January 6 speech, faces legal backlash
BBC faces legal threat from Donald Trump after admitting to an error in editing his January 6 speech. Security guards have been deployed outside BBC Broadcasting House in London following the controversy.
The BBC has confirmed that it misled viewers by editing a clip of Donald Trump's January 6 speech. The edited clip was aired on November 11, 2021, suggesting that Trump had spoken at the BBC Broadcasting House that day. However, Trump did not make any such appearance.
Following the revelation, Trump has threatened to sue the BBC for defamation. He accused the broadcaster of deliberately distorting his words. The BBC has since apologised for the error and acknowledged that it was a serious mistake.
The BBC's admission of error has sparked a legal threat from Donald Trump. Security measures have been enhanced at the BBC Broadcasting House in response to the ongoing situation. The incident has led to internal investigations and resignations within the BBC.
