Florida judge lets Trump’s BBC defamation claim proceed, dismisses separate claim

On November 10, a federal judge in Florida allowed Trump’s defamation claim against the BBC to proceed and dismissed his separate claim under Florida’s unfair-trade-practices law. The case concerns a Panorama documentary that spliced separate portions of Trump’s January 6, 2021 speech. The judge found the complaint plausibly alleged reputational harm and that the BBC knew or should have known the clip was misleading, but did not decide whether Trump proved those allegations. Trump seeks at least $10 billion; the court awarded no damages.
