US President Donald Trump reiterated this Friday that he feels an “obligation” to sue British broadcaster BBC, as he had already threatened. ‘Twisted’ his words before the 2021 Capitol attack to prevent a similar situation … happens to other people too And to find out how many more times it happened. The billionaire said he would ask the BBC to pay between $1 billion and $5 billion.
“I have an obligation to do so. I don’t want to get into any legal trouble. But I think I have an obligation to do so. This was very bad. “If you don’t do it, you can’t prevent it from happening again to other people,” he said in an interview with British network GB News. The tycoon said what BBC staff had done in editing his speech was “corrupt” and accused them of “a lot more than falsehoods”, and claimed his legal team would “proceed to sue for over $1 billion”.
“We’ll see what happens.” He added: “I don’t think they’ll be successful in that case,” and reiterated: “What they’ve done is unbelievable, so I feel we have an obligation to bring an important case against the BBC.” Along the same lines, the White House tenant claimed that the manipulation seen in this case was “worse” than other known cases that resulted in multi-million dollar fines, and suggested that this may not be the first time the BBC has edited the words of “his own words and the words of others.”
“One of the benefits of litigation is that you can find out how many times the other party has brought litigation against other people. Did they do it against the Prime Minister? “Did they do the same thing with Nigel[Farage, leader of the British Reform Party]?” he asked. these statements They come after he was considering suing the British company for “misrepresentation” this Wednesday. His speech on January 6, 2021, just before the storming of the U.S. Capitol by a mob of his followers. The case was an attempt to block the certification of the election results that gave Joe Biden the victory.
This is the first time Trump has spoken publicly about the issue since his lawyers alerted the BBC. A New Yorker is demanding an apology and compensation, and has revealed a lawsuit for nearly $1 billion (863 million euros) in damages.
BBC boss Sameer Shah previously apologized for the content, saying there had been an “inaccuracy”. But Trump’s lawyers have given him until Friday this week to obtain “adequate compensation” for the “damages” caused by the report.
Shah’s apology was related to the fact that the report placed “direct responsibility” on Trump’s part for “prompting the violence” with comments made shortly before the assault.
But Trump defended the network, saying it “changed the speech” and that it was “nice and calm” and made it “sound radical.”
