President Donald Trump has filed a $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the BBC after judges ruled the case can proceed in Florida.
The lawsuit concerns a 2024 BBC documentary that Trump says misrepresented his speech on January 6. The BBC says the editing was fair and did not mislead viewers.
An appeals court said Trump has the right to pursue the case in Florida, where he owns a home, rejecting the BBC's argument that the trial should take place in Britain. The case will now go before a jury in Florida.
Trump called the ruling "a big win" and vowed to pursue the case to the end. The BBC says it will vigorously defend its journalism.
