The president said on Dec. 15 that he will sue the BBC for “putting words” in his mouth and making it seem in a video that he called for the violence on Jan. 6 that ended with thousands storming the U.S. Capitol<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m suing the BBC for putting words in my mouth,” President Donald Trump<\/a> told reporters at the White House on Monday. “They actually put terrible words in my mouth having to do with January 6 that I didn’t say.”<\/p>\n

The president\u2019s remarks in the Oval Office come in response to a documentary segment the British news broadcaster published last year before the presidential election. It featured edited video of a speech Trump gave to supporters on Jan. 6 before rioters took the Capitol building; BBC officials later admitted the video was edited in a way that didn\u2019t accurately represent what Trump said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The beautiful words I said, the beautiful words, talking about patriotism and all of the good things I said” were cut, Trump said of the video.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The president added the lawsuit would “probably” be filed Monday evening or Tuesday. He suggested the British company used AI to “have me saying things I never said.”<\/p>\n

BBC officials did not immediately respond to requests for comment.<\/p>\n
