Trump Narrows His $10 Billion BBC Suit To One Defendant
BBC Studios argued it never touched the 2024 Panorama edit in America, leaving the broadcaster alone to defend the $10 billion claim.
- BBC admits an editing error but says the splice never aired on US platforms.
- Trump's lawyers say BBC staff helped bypass geo-blocks, letting Americans see the edited speech.
- Director General Tim Davie and news chief Deborah Turness already resigned; trial set February 2027.
Why it matters: Liability follows control of the broadcast, not the corporate name attached to it.
