BBC’s apology to Donald Trump without damages, broadcaster denies defamation claims
The BBC apologised to President Donald Trump on Thursday for a misleadingly edited documentary about the attacks on the US Capitol, but it refused to pay him any compensation.
It was not clear whether this would forestall a $1-billion lawsuit that Trump’s lawyer threatened to file in a Florida court. The lawyer, Alejandro Brito, demanded an apology, a retraction of the film and damages that “appropriately compensate President Trump for the harm caused”.
