🚨 Former U.S. President Donald Trump has dropped a legal bombshell, announcing plans to sue the BBC for up to $5 billion over a controversial edit of his January 6, 2021 speech. The move comes after the British broadcaster apologized this week for a Panorama program clip that Trump claims falsely portrayed him as inciting violence.
"They tried to cancel me – now we cancel their bank account," Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on Friday. The BBC confirmed Thursday it would permanently pull the edited segment, acknowledging it created a "mistaken impression" but refusing financial compensation.
Legal experts are divided on the potential lawsuit's merits, with some calling it a free speech showdown and others a PR stunt. The case – if filed next week as promised – could become one of the most expensive defamation claims in media history. 📉💸
This latest media clash comes as Trump remains active in U.S. politics, fueling speculation about his potential 2028 presidential run. Stay tuned for more updates as this story develops! 🔥
