US President Donald Trump said again on Friday that he feels “obligated” to sue – as he has already threatened – the British broadcaster the BBC over… He “twisted” his words before the attack on the Capitol in 2021 in order to prevent something similar from happening … It happens with other people And to reveal how many times this happened. The businessman said that he intends to ask the BBC for between one billion and five billion dollars.
“I have an obligation to do this. I’m not looking to get into legal trouble. But I believe I have an obligation to do so. This was so terrible. “If you don’t do it, you won’t prevent it from happening again to other people,” he said during an interview with British network GB News. The business mogul denounced “more than a liar”, that what BBC staff did when editing his letter was “corrupt” and confirmed that his team of lawyers “will sue for a billion dollars or more”.
“We’ll see what happens. He added, “I don’t imagine they will do well in that trial,” before repeating that he feels “compelled to file an important lawsuit against the BBC because what they did is unbelievable.” In a similar vein, the White House tenant asserted that the manipulation seen in this case was “worse” than other known cases that have resulted in multi-million dollar fines, and noted that this may not be the first time the BBC has edited his words “and those of others.”
“One of the advantages of litigation is that we will find out how many times they did this to other people. Did they do that to their prime minister? “Did they do that to Nigel (Farage, leader of the UK Reform Party)?” He asked. These statements This comes after on Wednesday he was considering filing a lawsuit against the British company for “misrepresentation.” His speech shortly before the assault committed by a mob of his followers against the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, an incident in which they sought to prevent the certification of the electoral results that gave victory to Joe Biden.
This is the first time Trump has spoken publicly about the matter since his legal team reported it to the BBC. There is a lawsuit seeking damages amounting to approximately $1,000 million (863 million euros) and the New Yorker is demanding an apology and compensation.
The head of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), Samir Shah, previously apologized for this content, saying that there was an “error.” However, Trump’s lawyers gave until Friday a deadline to obtain “adequate compensation” for the “damages caused” by that report.
Shah’s apology was linked to the fact that the report cited “direct guilt” on Trump’s part in “inciting violent action” in his statements made just before the attack.
But Trump defends that the network “changed the rhetoric,” and that he was “nice and calm,” making him “seem extreme.”
