President Trump's multi-billion dollar lawsuit against the BBC over the editing of one of his speeches is set to go to trial in 2027. The Florida judge has also rejected the BBC's attempt to delay disclosing internal documents related to the edited episode of 'Panorama'. Trump's speech, made in Washington before the US Capitol attack, was edited by the BBC, combining two parts without clearly indicating the edit to viewers. The BBC has apologized for the edit but denies defaming the president. The lawsuit is part of a pattern of the president pursuing media outlets in the courts. Since his re-election, Trump has achieved several high-profile legal wins against major media firms. ABC, owned by Disney, agreed to pay $15 million as part of a settlement over a defamation lawsuit. Trump also reached a $16 million settlement with Paramount, the parent company of CBS News, over alleged false editing of an interview with Kamala Harris. The 33-page complaint filed by Trump accused the BBC of a 'staggering breach of journalistic ethics', claiming the edit distorted the meaning of his speech and fabricated calls for violence that he never made.
