However, the broadcaster rejected Trump’s demand for compensation. The BBC said the edit “unintentionally created the impression” of a continuous call for violent action and confirmed the programme will not be aired again. Trump’s lawyers had threatened to sue for $1bn unless the BBC issued a retraction, apology, and compensation. The controversy led to the resignations of BBC Director-General Tim Davie and Head of News Deborah Turness. The BBC has contacted the White House for comment. Trump criticised the programme, saying his speech was “butchered” and “defrauded” viewers. In the edited clip, excerpts from different parts of his speech were joined to make it appear he made a direct call for violence, which he disputes. #uspresident #USA #BBC #donaldtrump #breakingnews vJDF9b3CVqP Ag5zEEIBqrP dJlXVRjX3Lf 62WipiLpLGE uqhXNutAaJ6 e1xisCGpZEo DzNB1owhCgV xHO56E5YoLR
