President Donald Trump on Monday night filed a defamation lawsuit against the BBC in federal court in Florida, seeking at least $5 billion in damages.
The civil complaint accuses the British public broadcasting company of producing a “false, defamatory, deceptive, disparaging, inflammatory, and malicious depiction of President Trump” in a Panorama documentary aired one week before the 2024 election.
Trump’s suit alleges the documentary was produced as part of “a brazen attempt to interfere in and influence the Election’s outcome to President Trump’s detriment.” The suit is the latest in a series of defamation complaints that the notoriously litigious president has filed against media outlets.
Trump filed a $15 billion lawsuit against The New York Times in September, accusing the newspaper of being a “mouthpiece” for the Democratic Party. In July, Trump filed a lawsuit seeking $10 billion in damages from media baron Rupert Murdoch and the publisher of The Wall Street Journal over that newspaper’s report that Trump sent his then-friend Jeffrey Epstein a “bawdy” letter for Epstein’s 50th birthday.

But noooooo! The greedy idiot sues for $5 BILLION and of course nobody's going to actually pay that. Not only is he the worst president ever in our history, he continues to demonstrate what a stupid, clueless child he really is.
