@cbsnews: President Trump has filed a $10 billion lawsuit against the BBC alleging defamation and unfair trade practices in relation to a documentary it broadcast last year covering the riot at the Capitol on January 6, 2021 and his actions. The BBC has admitted mistakenly editing sections of the speech Trump gave before the riot. Yet, Mark Stephens, a UK-based media lawyer tells CBS News that under UK law, courts would only enforce damages of up to about $300,000, raising questions about the scale and viability of the claim. #trump #usa #unitedkingdom #law #president

He's suing them in the USA not the UK, he's leveraging US law instead.

As a Brit, I dislike the BBC and think the licence fee is fundamentally unfair. But do I dislike Trump more? Yes….

Trunp just blindly says whatever number he thinks will attract the most attention. Then he quietly backs down and goes away.
