Trump's $10 billion defamation lawsuit against BBC allowed to proceed

A federal judge has allowed Donald Trump's defamation lawsuit against the BBC to proceed, rejecting the broadcaster's dismissal request. Trump claims the BBC edited a documentary to falsely portray him inciting violence during the January 6 Capitol riot. He seeks at least $5 billion for defamation and a separate claim under Florida law, though the latter was dismissed. The judge noted the BBC's editing created a misleading narrative. Trump celebrated the ruling as a significant win and faces a deposition deadline by December 11, with potential sanctions for non-compliance.
