YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe BBC apologized Thursday to President Trump over a misleading edit of his speech to supporters before they stormed the Capitol on January 6, but the broadcaster denied its actions amounted to defamation. Trump lawyers had threatened the BBC with a billion-dollar lawsuit.
The dispute stems from a documentary that aired in the lead-up to last year's election that included separate parts of Trump's speech that were spliced together. In its retraction, the BBC said the edit "gave the mistaken impression that President Trump had made a direct call for violent action."
