POLITICSTrump sues BBC for $10 billion, claims defamation from Panorama documentary

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.”
