Donald Trump has issued a statement after a judge ruled his lawsuit against the BBC can go ahead, partially blocking the national broadcaster’s motion to dimiss the case. Federal judge Jeffrey T Kuntz, who was appointed by Trump, made the decision on Tuesday that the president’s £7.5bn defamation lawsuit can continue.
Trump is seeking substantial damages over the editing of a 2024 Panorama documentary about the US Capitol riots. The documentary faced criticism for giving the impression Trump had encouraged his supporters to storm the Capitol building on January 6 2021 after he lost the 2020 White House race to Joe Biden.
