BBC has been accused of doctoring footage of Donald Trump's speech just before the January 6th insurrection. It took clips from his speech and arranged them to make it look like Trump was calling for violence at the capitol building. While he did say those things, the doctored footage was disinformation. Trump has threatened to sue BBC for this.
BBC apologized, pleading an "error in judgment," but Trump is threatening to sue the news station. As a result, prominent BBC staff have resigned, including its director, Tim Davie. Trump commonly uses his power to put pressure on news stations he does not like, or who do not align with his opinions or his view of himself.
