President Trump filed a $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the BBC on Monday, alleging that a documentary aired before the 2024 election deceptively edited his Jan. 6, 2021, speech.

The suit, filed in federal court in Miami, seeks $5 billion in damages for each of two counts—defamation and violating Florida’s Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act—and requests a jury trial.

Trump’s legal team claims the BBC “intentionally, maliciously, and deceptively” spliced his speech to interfere in the 2024 election, while the broadcaster maintains it regrets the edit but denies a basis for defamation.

This marks Trump’s third media lawsuit while in office, following cases against the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, and continues a broader pattern of legal action against media outlets over the past decade, Axios has reported.

Legal experts note the high bar for defamation claims by public figures, and the case could influence whether Trump targets more foreign broadcasters in the future.
