Trump's $10 Billion Suit Against BBC Set for February 2027 Trial

President Donald Trump’s $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the British Broadcasting Corp. has been set for trial in February 2027, in one of several cases the Republican has filed since retaking the White House.

The trial date was set in an order Wednesday by US District Judge Roy K. Altman in Miami. The judge, a Trump appointee, also ordered the president and the BBC to participate in a mediation process by Nov. 3.

Trump sued over a misleading edit in a documentary before the 2024 presidential election that gave the impression he’d made a direct call for violence in a speech before the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol by his supporters.
