Judge Denies BBC's Bid to Throw Out Trump Defamation Suit

A federal judge in Florida has rejected the BBC’s request to dismiss Donald Trump’s $10 billion defamation lawsuit over a documentary about the Jan. 6 Capitol attack. Judge Jeffrey T. Kuntz said Trump could argue that editing parts of his speech made it appear he incited violence. Trump called the decision a victory, while the BBC said it was surprised but respected the court’s authority. The case will proceed to its next stage.
