Last night, Donald Trump said it was his “obligation” to sue the BBC for defamation after the broadcaster allegedly doctored footage of him in a speech.
“Well, I think I have an obligation to do it… You can’t allow people to do that,” Mr Trump told Fox News on Wednesday morning, UK time.
“I guess I have to,” he said, and accused the BBC of “defrauding the public [and] admitting it”.
He said the BBC made his January 6 speech “sound radical”, and accused the corporation of deliberately changing it.
On Monday, the President had threatened the corporation with a $1billion-valued lawsuit over the “biased” footage, which aired in a Panorama documentary before his 2024 election triumph.
So far, the President has given the broadcaster until 10pm on Friday to apologise and offer a settlement figure – or face his lawyers in a Florida court.
And now, GB News is asking: Do you support Donald Trump in suing the BBC – despite taxpayers footing the bill?
