President Donald Trump's contentious relationship with news organizations has led to a host of disputes and legal battles, the latest a lawsuit accusing the BBC of defamation and deceptive and unfair trade practices. The president is seeking $10 billion in damages from the British broadcaster.

The lawsuit filed Monday accuses the BBC of "splicing together two entirely separate parts of President Trump's speech on January 6, 2021" in order to "intentionally misrepresent the meaning of what President Trump said." It calls the BBC's "false" depiction of Trump "a brazen attempt to interfere in and influence" the 2024 U.S. presidential election.
