I doubt the BBC or their lawyers are exactly quaking.

The BBC F*d up.
Trumpf has dropped the financial loss part of the claim, about half. That's just so he doesn't have to provide financial documents. [ed: as Brig said]
Judges don't like it when plaintiffs decide to drop claims for reasons like that.
The new judge is one J. Kuntz, really.
" the BBC's admission that the editing was wrong sounds potentially very damaging to the BBC, but it doesn’t necessarily establish defamation under US law"
Ongoing.
..................
Trump claimed defamation against ABC news when their Anchor said on air that Trump had been been found liable for rape in the E. Jean Carroll case, where he was only found guilty of Sexual Abuse, not rape.
ABC settled the case, paying 15million (not billion) + 1m in legal fees, in a contribution to his library.
I see no wholesale rolling over by Networks.
****z is a Trump nominee who has previously ruled to allow a case of his to continue. It will be telling, to see how ****z deals with the BBC's motion to dismiss.
He may decide that the error helps or hinders trump. There's no automatic link between a mistake, and defamation.
Under rigorous established US defamation standards, the Beeb has substantial arguments.
T has to prove malice, or recklessness. BBC documents may illuminate that - they will certainly be called. What did hey know when, and what did they do about it?
I think getting a court to agree it was just a clumsy edit, will be hard.
An arrow in BBCs quiver is that there is doubt that the case should be tried in Florida.

Trumps rambling speeches have been edited by every TV company on the planet. It’s standard procedure. Even pro Trump RWR outlets do it.
The BBC lawyers will be pi$$ing themselves.
And yet the BBC haters seem to approve when trump lies consistently, engages in illegal wars and indulges himself in trade wars that only he and his mates benefit from...
Plus of course they don't mind that he's a pervert...
Anyone giving trump their support is decidedly dodgy themselves!
The Beeb did it very badly. There should have been much better separation of the two clips so they didn't seem linked.
In your opinion.
Opinion and irrelevant.
Let’s hope the jury aren’t ****z

That's because I'm soooo clever.
Well, only a bit.
Sometimes needs must . What you do is put the codes to make italic, or bold or something. Don't tell the mods.

then put this in the middle of the word: [ i ][ / i ] without the spaces.
