Donald Trump has sued the BBC for at least $5 billion over alleged malicious editing of his January 6 speech, claiming it was an attempt to interfere in the 2024 presidential election and defame him.

The BBC previously apologized for the editing, which it called an 'error of judgment,' leading to resignations of top executives.

Trump's Lawyers Seek Dismissal of Classified Documents Case in Florida Court

Donald Trump's lawyers will argue in a Florida court to dismiss the federal criminal case involving his handling of classified documents, citing the Presidential Records Act as a shield from prosecution. The special counsel has called on the judge to reject Trump's claim, arguing that the act does not protect the removal of classified records from the White House as personal records. The case also involves a motion to dismiss based on the vagueness of the statute used against Trump. The trial, originally set for May 20, is expected to be pushed back, and Trump's co-defendants have also pleaded not guilty to the charges. Trump's lawyers are seeking to delay the trial until after the U.S. Supreme Court rules on his claims of presidential immunity.
