BBC responds to Trump: There is no basis for lawsuit, the documentary

The BBC has responded in a harsh tone to US President Donald Trump, who has threatened to sue for up to $5 billion for "false editing" in the Panorama documentary.

In the letter to its lawyers, the BBC argues that there is no legal basis for reputational damage, as the show was not broadcast in the US at all and was blocked by iPlayer for American audiences, The Times writes.

This is the main point of the defense, supported by four other arguments:

-The documentary "Trump: A Second Chance?" did not have broadcasting rights in the US.

-The controversial clips were only 12 seconds long, cut from an hour-long film that aimed to analyze Trump voters.

-The erroneous edit was not done intentionally and was not intended to manipulate the public.

Trump cannot claim "extraordinary reputational harm" after he won the 2025 presidential election and Republicans scored their biggest victory in Florida since 2004.

The scandal led to the resignations of director-general Tim Davie and BBC News chief Deborah Turness, while the board's chairman, Samir Shah, apologised for the "serious error of judgement".

However, the BBC insists that it has no intention of settling the case out of court and that it expects Trump's lawsuit to be unsuccessful, recalling that in the US freedom of expression for political opinions is widely protected.

President Trump repeated the threat of lawsuit this weekend, calling the BBC "disinformation."
