President Trump has filed a $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the BBC over a documentary that he claims falsely depicted his comments related to the January 6 Capitol attack, alleging the BBC manipulated footage to influence the 2024 election. The lawsuit also discusses how viewers in the U.S., particularly in Florida, could access the documentary via BritBox or VPNs, with some suggesting the use of VPNs is driven by access to adult content due to new age verification laws. Legal experts anticipate a possible settlement, noting Trump's history of suing media outlets.
