Trial date set for Donald Trump's $10 billion defamation lawsuit against BBC
SUMMARY
Donald Trump’s $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the BBC will go to trial in Florida on February 15, 2027. The lawsuit arises from Trump's speech during the January 6 Capitol incident, which he claims was edited misleadingly in a Panorama documentary.
Trump’s legal team argues the BBC “intentionally and maliciously sought to mislead its viewers” and is seeking damages for defamation and unfair trade practices.
The BBC is fighting the lawsuit, asserting the court lacks jurisdiction and that Trump hasn't met the necessary legal standards for defamation claims. The trial will take place at the Wilkie D Ferguson Jr US Courthouse in Miami.
