Former US President Donald Trump has criticized a $10 billion lawsuit against the BBC, which claims the network misrepresented his speech in a documentary. Trump argues that the edited footage changed the context of his words, portraying him unfairly.

The lawsuit, filed by Trump’s legal team, alleges that the BBC’s documentary intentionally altered his statements to create a misleading narrative. They are seeking damages for reputational harm and financial losses caused by the broadcast.

BBC representatives have defended the documentary, stating that it was based on factual reporting and journalistic standards. They argue that editing is a normal part of documentary production and denies any intent to mislead the public.

Legal experts say the case could set a precedent for media organizations and public figures, especially regarding how edited footage is presented and interpreted. The lawsuit has already drawn international attention.
