Trump dropped defamation claims against BBC's commercial arms but will continue suing the broadcaster itself.Summary
Donald Trump abandoned his defamation claims against BBC Studios Distribution and BBC Studios Productions, the corporation's commercial and production arms, after the BBC apologized for editing his January 6 speech to make it appear he called for violent action. He will, however, continue his lawsuit against the British Broadcasting Corporation itself, with the case set for trial in the Southern District of Florida in February 2027. BBC Director‑General Tim Davie and Head of News Deborah Turness have stepped down amid the scandal, and a ruling on pending document requests is expected before the trial.
