BBC seeks dismissal of Trump libel suit over Jan. 6 documentary
TL;DR
The BBC urged a Florida federal judge to throw out Trump’s $10 billion libel lawsuit over a 2024 documentary, arguing the court lacks U.S. jurisdiction because the program wasn’t distributed in the United States and the edits couldn’t have harmed his reputation; Trump’s team accused the BBC of distorting his remarks and said the case will proceed.
