What happened

Well supportedReported by 17 independent outlets

Donald Trump filed a $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the British Broadcasting Corporation over a documentary produced by Panorama. The suit alleges that the program spliced together two parts of a speech to imply Trump called for violent action. The BBC admitted to the splicing and apologized, subsequently implementing editorial standards reforms led by Caroline Thomson.
