“President Trump threatened the British Broadcasting Corporation with a $1 billion lawsuit in Florida Monday if it did not retract a news program that featured doctored footage of Trump’s remarks ahead of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot. In a letter from Trump’s outside counsel obtained by The Post, the BBC was given until 5 p.m. ET Friday to ‘retract the false, defamatory, disparaging, and inflammatory statements made about President Trump’ in its ‘Panorama’ program that aired Oct. 28, 2024, titled ‘Trump: A Second Chance?’ … On Monday, BBC Chair Samir Shah conceded in a statement to a UK parliamentary committee that “we accept that the way the speech was edited did give the impression of a direct call for violent action.” (11/10/25)
