The fight between Trump and the BBC escalated.
A U.S. federal judge rejected the BBC's request to dismiss Donald Trump's complaint that he misrepresented his words in a documentary about the January 6 attack on Congress; a ruling that allows the U.S. president to continue his $10 billion lawsuit against the British media outlet.
This case has had important implications for the BBC in the past. BBC director-general Tim Davey and head of news Deborah Terence resigned after criticism of the way Trump's speech was conducted.
Nevertheless, the judge dismissed part of Trump's complaint alleging violations of Florida's Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act; Therefore, at this stage of the procedure, only a claim of defamation remains.
