The BBC has asked a U.S. court to dismiss President Donald Trump’s $10 billion defamation lawsuit over a 2024 documentary that included edited footage of his January 6, 2021, speech, according to court filings Monday.

Trump claims the broadcaster defamed him by splicing parts of his speech to make it appear he directed supporters to storm the U.S. Capitol. The documentary, aired shortly before Trump’s reelection campaign, included one segment in which he told supporters to march on the Capitol and another nearly an hour later in which he said to “fight like hell.”

In its motion to dismiss, the BBC acknowledged apologizing to Trump for the edit but argued the lawsuit should be rejected because the broadcast did not harm his reputation. The broadcaster noted that Trump was reelected after the documentary aired and that the film was not made available to viewers in Florida, where the lawsuit was filed.

The network maintains that these factors indicate the alleged defamation did not affect Trump’s public standing and that the claims fail to meet the legal threshold required for a defamation case. The court has yet to rule on the motion.

The lawsuit represents one of several high-profile legal challenges involving Trump and his post-presidency public statements. Legal analysts say the outcome could have implications for media coverage of political figures and the boundaries of defamation law in the United States.
