From Fox News: Fox News legal analyst Gregg Jarrett predicted President Trump could be entitled to “considerable” damages from BBC should he move forward with a lawsuit against the outlet over an allegedly misleading edit of his Jan. 6 speech featured in a 2024 documentary.
“It’s hard to put a value on it at this early juncture, but it’s considerable,” Jarrett said Monday on “Fox & Friends.”
“Two top executives resigned in disgrace when they removed the slander,” he continued, referencing the resignations of BBC News CEO Deborah Turness and BBC director-general Tim Davie.
“And yet the BBC still claims it wasn’t defamatory, which is absurd. They knew it was wrong.”
“It’s a clear case of what I think is defamation,” Jarrett said, adding, “They deleted his caution to act peacefully, and then they spliced together the video to give the opposite impression, almost certainly defamatory.”
BBC has been hit with massive backlash over a documentary they aired about Trump’s Jan. 6, 2021 speech prior to the huge protest at the Capitol building. BBC made it appear that Trump told the audience that he would walk with them to the Capitol and “fight like hell.” They cut out his comments about being peaceful, and patched in additional remarks Trump made nearly an hour later in the speech.
What Trump REALLY said was, “We’re going to walk down to the Capitol, and we’re going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women.”
