| I knew this would happen and I hope he does! Donald Trump has put the BBC 'on notice' that he plans to sue them for $1billion (£760million) after they doctored his speech and broadcast it on Panorama, it has been revealed today. President Trump has set a deadline of 5pm EST (10pm in the UK) this Friday to 'comply' with his demands. A letter sent to BBC Chairman Samir Shah at Television Centre by his legal team in Floridasays: 'President Trump will be left with no alternative but to enforce his legal and equitable rights, all of which are expressly reserved and are not waived, including by filing legal action for no less than $1,000,000,000 (One Billion Dollars) in damages. 'Due to their salacious nature, the fabricated statements that were aired by the BBC have been widely disseminated throughout various digital mediums, which have reached tens of millions of people worldwide. Consequently, the BBC has caused President Trump to suffer overwhelming financial and reputational harm'. The letter from his lawyer, Alejandro Brito, adds: 'The BBC is on notice'. Mr Brito says Mr Trump has three demands. By close of business on Friday the BBC must issue a full and fair retraction, issue an apology and 'appropriately compensate President Trump for the harm caused'. A BBC spokesman said: 'We will review the letter and respond directly in due course.' It came as BBC chairman Samir Shah made a humbling apology to Mr Trump and admitted he was willing to say sorry in person. 'He's a litigious fellow. So we should be prepared for all outcomes', he said when asked if he knew whether the President will sue. https://mol.im/a/15277189 |
