BBC Seeks Dismissal of Trump's 10 Billion Lawsuit Over Edited Speech

The BBC is seeking to dismiss Donald Trump's 10 billion dollar lawsuit, arguing a Florida court lacks jurisdiction and Trump cannot prove damages. Trump sued over an edited speech in a BBC documentary that he claims defamed him by making it appear he incited the Capitol riot. The BBC apologized for the misleading edit but contends Trump cannot demonstrate actual malice, a requirement for public figures in defamation cases. They also note Trump's re-election after the documentary aired, questioning his claim of harm.
