‘BBC butchered my January 6 speech in Panorama documentary’ -Trump threatens lawsuit

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has accused the BBC of misrepresenting his words about the January 6 Capitol incident in a Panorama documentary.

Trump claimed the documentary edited and altered his statement, making it appear as though he encouraged violence during the 2021 Capitol protest. According to him, the media outlet “butchered” his speech to push a negative narrative.

In a strong reaction, Trump said he is considering filing a lawsuit against the BBC for what he described as false and misleading reporting. He insists his original speech was focused on peaceful protest and calling for fairness in the election process, not chaos or disorder.

The former president has long argued that many media organizations purposely misrepresent his remarks. This latest controversy shows that media battles surrounding January 6 are still ongoing, as Trump continues to defend his role and image in American politics.
