Donald Trump has put the BBC 'on notice' that he plans to sue them for $1billion (£760million) after they doctored his speech and broadcast it on Panorama, it has been revealed today.
The US President has set a deadline of 5pm EST (10pm in the UK) this Friday to 'comply' with his demands.
A letter sent to BBC Chairman Samir Shah at Television Centre by his legal team in Florida said: 'President Trump will be left with no alternative but to enforce his legal and equitable rights, all of which are expressly reserved and are not waived, including by filing legal action for no less than $1,000,000,000 (One Billion Dollars) in damages.
'Due to their salacious nature, the fabricated statements that were aired by the BBC have been widely disseminated throughout various digital mediums, which have reached tens of millions of people worldwide. Consequently, the BBC has caused President Trump to suffer overwhelming financial and reputational harm.'
The letter from his lawyer, Alejandro Brito, added: 'The BBC is on notice.'
Mr Brito says Mr Trump has three demands. By close of business on Friday the BBC must issue a full and fair retraction, provide an apology and 'appropriately compensate President Trump for the harm caused'.
Mr Trump fired off a legal letter after it emerged Panorama had selectively edited his speech before the January 6 Capitol riot to remove a section where he told supporters to demonstrate peacefully. The scandal has brought down the Director General Tim Davie and the CEO of BBC News, Deborah Turness.
A BBC spokesman said: 'We will review the letter and respond directly in due course.'
It came as the corporation's chairman Samir Shah made a humbling apology to Mr Trump and admitted he was willing to say sorry in person.
'He's a litigious fellow. So we should be prepared for all outcomes', he said when asked if he knew whether the President would sue.

With all the $$$ Trump has won in lawsuits, he could reduce the debt tremendously!

Demand that they air a 15 minute sampling of all the erroneous claims and outright lies made by any democrat or news organization in the past 10 years wrt to Trump during peak news viewing hours every day for the next 5 years.

Why on earth should Trump use any of his personal funds to alleviate the massive debt amassed by his predecessors? He already waives his annual salary, he really shouldn't but chooses to do so.

Whenever they respond…Trump should say he’s not satisfied with the response and sue them anyway.

When harming our President they really harm all of us. Any of our resident lawyers want to put together a class action lawsuit against the BBC?
