A federal judge declined to dismiss Donald Trump’s defamation claim against the BBC over an edited clip of his January 6 speech in the documentary “Trump: A Second Chance?”, which aired before the 2024 election.

The BBC apologized for the edit, which led to the resignations of several senior executives, but disputes that it caused Trump real injury.

Trump called the ruling a “huge victory,” while the BBC said it was surprised, respected the court’s authority and remained confident in its position.

The available information provides no further details about the allegations or the judge’s reasoning.
