Literally, they put words in my mouth. They had me saying things that I never said coming out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Trump\u2019s lawsuit centers on an edition of broadcaster\u2019s flagship Panorama news show that was broadcast a week before the 2024 US election.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">The episode spliced together clips of Trump\u2019s speech, suggesting that he told the crowd: \u201cWe\u2019re going to walk down to the Capitol and I\u2019ll be there with you, and we fight. We fight like hell.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">However, the words were taken from sections of his speech that occurred almost an hour apart.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">The BBC acknowledged the editing was an \u201cerror of judgment\u201d and apologized to Trump, but said there was no legal basis for his claim. Tim Davie, the BBC\u2019s director general, and Deborah Turness, the head of BBC News, resigned over the affair.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Trump has denied responsibility for the incident, which was aimed at blocking Congress from certifying Joe Biden\u2019s win over Trump in the 2020 US presidential election.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\"><em>More details soon \u2026<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>#Donald #Trump #sues #BBC #5bn #edit #January #speech #Donald #Trump<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donald Trump has filed a lawsu&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3982,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3981"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3981"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3981\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/3982"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3981"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3981"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3981"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
