In the letter sent on Sunday and seen by Reuters, the president's lawyers said the BBC must retract its documentary by Friday or face a lawsuit for "no less" than $1 billion. The letter also demanded that the BBC issue an apology and compensate Trump for what it said was "overwhelming reputational and financial harm". The documentary, which aired on the BBC's flagship Panorama news programme, spliced together three video excerpts from Trump's speech, creating the impression he was inciting the January 6, 2021, riot. His lawyers said this was "false and defamatory". #OceanNewsUK #UK #Ocean #breaking #latest #London More On: oceannewsuk.com 📺Satellite - Asiasat7: Frequency 3880 H, Symbol Rate: 29720 qhLsphDrixX VdoaT8rSE9u DrO8pm8bbRU ygNekzFLPgU z5SXux8nJ2f
