The BBC wholeheartedly believes that Donald Trump's children -- namely his eldest daughter Ivanka and her husband Jared and his eldest son Don Jr. -- have "personal knowledge" about the President that's relevant to fighting the lawsuit the President has lodged against the British network. Still, the Trump kids are making it clear they won't do things the easy way.
The sitting President of the United States is currently embroiled in a defamation lawsuit against the British Broadcasting Corporation in connection with the network's 2024 documentary on the January 6th Capitol insurrection that aired in the UK. Trump claims defamation, arguing that the BBC spliced together parts of his infamous J6 speech.
The broadcaster did, in fact, combine two parts of Trump's speech.
In one segment of his speech, Trump told the crowd, "I’ll be there with you, we’re going to walk down, we’re going to walk down."
He added just a few minutes later, "We're going to walk down to the Capitol."
In their documentary, the BBC edited the footage of Trump's speech to say, "We're going to walk down to the Capitol, and I'll be there with you." They then included the line from the end of Trump's 55-minute speech, where he told the mob of supporters to "fight like hell."
"We fight like hell. And if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore," Trump said in his J6 speech.
The BBC has apologized for its editing but maintains that the edits are far from defamatory.
