Federal judge allows Trump case against BBC to go ahead

Newsworthy News -   A federal judge refused to throw out President Trump’s defamation case against the BBC, keeping alive a fight over an admitted misleading edit of his January 6 speech....

U.S. District Court proceedings in Florida will move forward after the judge denied the BBC’s bid to dismiss President Trump’s lawsuit. Reports say the court found Trump’s complaint plausibly alleges that the edited clip conveyed a statement he did not actually make, clearing the low bar needed to proceed beyond the motion stage. The ruling does not decide who will win. It sets the stage for fact-finding on what the edit showed, how it was made, and whether it damaged Trump’s reputation and business.
