US Judge Allows Trump's $10 Billion Defamation Lawsuit Against BBC to Proceed

  • A federal judge in Florida has allowed Donald Trump's $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the BBC to proceed.
  • The lawsuit stems from the BBC's editing of a speech Trump made, which made it appear he directed supporters to storm the US Capitol.
  • The BBC admitted the edits were misleading but denied being liable for defamation.
  • The judge dismissed Trump's claim of unfair trade practices.
  • Trump will still have to prove at trial that the broadcaster acted with actual malice.
