Leavitt stated that although Trump has good relations with British Prime Minister Starmer, they disagree on the BBC issue, which the president of the United States considers to be a “left propaganda machine”.
U.S. President's lawyers sent a letter to a British broadcaster threatening to sue and demanding at least $1 billion in compensation for the BBC's publication of material with Trump's manipulated statement. Representatives of the head of state set a deadline for the UK broadcaster to respond by Friday (14 November), by 22 a.m. British time (23 Polish time).
According to the station's interior report, revealed in early October, in the fall of 2024, 1 week before voting in the U.S. presidential election, a BBC documentary entitled "Trump: A Second Chance?" was aired in the program, which included a assembled passage of Donald Trump's speech of 6 January 2021. The material was expected to give the impression that Trump encouraged his supporters to attack the Capitol.
The assembly combined his words encouraging supporters to go to Capitol with a message from the same rally that encouraged them to “fight like hell, or they would no longer have a country.” In fact, Trump called on participants to go to the Capitol to "kiddle brave senators and congressmen" who, as the president counted, would vote against the 2020 presidential election results.
