The BBC will ask a judge to dismiss U.S. President Donald Trump's $10 billion lawsuit against the broadcaster. Trump filed the lawsuit in December, claiming defamation and unfair trade practices over a documentary that edited a speech he made on Jan. 6, 2021, before his supporters stormed the Capitol in Washington. The BBC apologized for the edit but denies defamation. Papers filed Monday in Florida say the BBC will argue the court lacks jurisdiction and that Trump failed to state a claim. The broadcaster's lawyers will also argue the documentary wasn't available to watch in the U.S. If the case continues, a trial is proposed for 2027.
