President Trump sued the BBC on Monday, seeking $10 billion in damages for alleging defamation over how a documentary aired shortly before the 2024 election edited a speech he delivered on Jan. 6, 2021.
Why it matters: It marks the third lawsuit the president has waged against a media company while in office.
Trump filed a $15 billion lawsuit against the New York Times in September, and refiled the case the following month after the original complaint was dismissed for being unnecessarily long.
He sued the Wall Street Journal in July over its reporting about his purported contribution to Jeffrey Epstein's birthday book.
