DONALD Trump says he will sue the BBC for at least $1billion – and has questioned whether the Prime Minister and Nigel Farage could be victims too.
In a world exclusive interview on GB News’ The Late Show Live, the American President told Bev Turner: “They don’t have to admit their guilt. It’s on tape, you know. I mean, there’s nothing to admit. We have a statutory period. We’ve notified them by writing, and I think you have to wait. And so that time is coming up, and after that time comes up, we’ll sue them. My lawyers say for $1 billion or more, and we’ll see how it all works out. But I can’t imagine they could do very well in that lawsuit. What they’ve done is incredible. I sort of have an obligation. Not that I want to do it. I have an obligation to do it. So I’ve been doing this for a long time and nobody understands the press because, you know, I’m the one that explained to people it’s fake news. But I hate when people say, oh, I understand the press because they’re fools, because nobody really understands. The Press doesn’t understand itself. But I will say, I think I have an obligation to bring a major lawsuit against the BBC, because what they did is impossible to believe.
“Well, if they could misrepresent me in that way, they could misrepresent anybody in that way. And one of the things we’ll find out during this litigation through depositions and everything is how many other times have they done it to your Prime Minister? Have they done it to Nigel?You know the people that are in your country? Uh, the answer is probably yes, but we’ll be finding out a lot of things over the next few months. And one of the things, you know, your litigation moves a little bit quickly in your country. So I think it’s going to go fairly quickly.. We probably bring it someplace in the US from our standpoint. Melania has had success and we’ve had a lot of success because it’s fake news. But I’ve never had anything so fake as the BBC.”
