Rais Donald Trump amefungua kesi ya kashfa dhidi ya BBC katika mahakama ya shirikisho ya Miami, akidai fidia ya hadi dola bilioni 10.
Trump anaituhumu BBC kwa kuandaa makala ya Panorama iliyoonyesha kauli zake za Januari 6, 2021 kwa namna iliyohaririwa vibaya, na kufanya ionekane kama aliwahimiza wafuasi wake kuvamia Bunge la Marekani.
Trump anasema makala hiyo ilirushwa makusudi kabla ya uchaguzi wa 2024 ili kuathiri mbio zake za kuwania Urais.
BBC imekiri kosa la uhariri, ikaomba radhi, ikaondoa makala hiyo, lakini inakanusha kashfa hizo za Rais wa Marekani na imesema itajitetea mahakamani

President Donald Trump filed a defamation lawsuit against the BBC in Miami federal court on Monday night, seeking $10 billion in damages.
The civil complaint accuses the British Broadcasting Corporation of producing a “false, defamatory, deceptive, disparaging, inflammatory, and malicious depiction of President Trump” in a Panorama documentary aired one week before the 2024 election.
Trump’s suit alleges the documentary was produced as part of “a brazen attempt to interfere in and influence the Election’s outcome to President Trump’s detriment.”
The suit notes that the documentary, titled “Trump: A Second Chance,” was edited to make it appear that during his Jan. 6, 2021, speech outside the White House, Trump had explicitly urged his supporters to attack the U.S. Capitol.
“The Panorama Documentary falsely depicted President Trump telling supporters: ‘We’re going to walk down to the Capitol and I’ll be there with you. And we fight. We fight like hell and if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore,’ ” the suit says. “President Trump never uttered this sequence of words.”
In fact, the suit says, the sentence containing the words “And we fight” was uttered by Trump nearly 55 minutes after he said the words “I’ll be there with you.”
BBC Chair Samir Shah recently apologized for an “error of judgment” over the edit, and the broadcaster’s director general and head of news both resigned.
The BBC apologized to Trump on Nov. 13 and promised not to air the documentary again or show it on any of its platforms.
“While the BBC sincerely regrets the manner in which the video clip was edited, we strongly disagree there is a basis for a defamation claim,” the broadcaster said in a statement on Nov. 13.
A BBC spokesperson, in a statement on the lawsuit, said, “As we have made clear previously, we will be defending this case. We are not going to make further comment on ongoing legal proceedings.”
Trump’s suit, which seeks $5 billion in damages for each of its two counts: defamation, and violation of Florida’s Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act.
