President Trump threatened to sue the BBC for $1 billion over a documentary his lawyer says used 'malicious, disparaging' edits to his Jan. 6, 2021 speech. A letter by attorney Alejandro Brito demanded a full retraction, an apology and compensation, setting a Friday 5 p.m. deadline before filing suit. The BBC acknowledged the threat and said it would respond. The head of the BBC Tim Davie and the chief executive of BBC News Deborah Turness resigned amid pressure over the film’s editing; the documentary had already been removed from the BBC’s online player.
