跟进：法官裁定特朗普100亿美元诉BBC诽谤案可继续审理，驳回另一项贸易索赔
美国佛罗里达州南区联邦地区法官 Jeffrey T. Kuntz 11月10日裁定，驳回英国广播公司（BBC）撤销诽谤索赔的请求，美国总统特朗普索赔至少100亿美元的诉 BBC 诽谤案可以继续审理。同一份裁定驳回了特朗普提出的另一项索赔，该项索赔指控 BBC 从事不公平贸易行为。裁定没有判定特朗普的指控已经得到证实，案件能否成立留待后续审理阶段决定。
Kuntz 在裁定中写道，特朗普已经表面成立地主张，其名誉因这段剪辑受损，并且 BBC 知道或应当知道这段片段具有误导性。裁定列出的理由包括：「在这里，是这家新闻机构制造了这条新闻。BBC 自己也承认了这一点，它确认自己剪辑了一段视频，让人看起来像是特朗普总统说了一句他从未说过的话。」裁定还指出，BBC 选择在2024年总统大选前一周、影响最大的时机播出这部纪录片。
这起诉讼针对 BBC 纪录片《全景》（Panorama）2024年10月28日播出的节目《特朗普：第二次机会》。节目中一段约12秒的片段把特朗普2021年1月6日演讲的不同部分拼接在一起，让人看起来像是他指示支持者冲击美国国会大厦。BBC 已经承认，特朗普从未按播出版本那样说过这些话，BBC 主席曾为剪辑致歉，称剪辑无意中造成了演讲是同一段连续内容的印象。BBC 此前承认剪辑具有误导性并向特朗普道歉，但否认构成诽谤的法律责任。
BBC 此前请求法院驳回全案，理由是此案会对公众人物有力报道产生寒蝉效应。裁定公布后，BBC 发言人表示，对这一决定感到意外，但尊重法院的权威，案件将进入下一阶段。法院责令 BBC 在12月1日前就裁定作出回应。
特朗普当天在 Truth Social 发帖，称这是「对假新闻 BBC 的一场大胜」，并引用了裁定中「是这家新闻机构制造了这条新闻」的表述。「大胜」是特朗普本人在帖子中的说法。就裁定本身而言，诽谤索赔获准继续审理，另一项索赔被驳回，两项主张的结果并不相同。（来源：美国佛罗里达州南区联邦地区法院）

Follow-Up: Judge Rules Trump's $10 Billion Defamation Case Against the BBC Can Proceed, Dismisses Trade Claim
U.S. District Judge Jeffrey T. Kuntz of the Southern District of Florida ruled on November 10 that the BBC's attempt to dismiss the defamation claim in President Donald Trump's lawsuit must fail, allowing Trump's defamation case, which seeks at least $10 billion, to proceed. The same ruling dismissed a separate Trump claim accusing the broadcaster of unfair trade practices. The ruling did not decide whether Trump's allegations have been proven, leaving that question for a later stage of the case.
Kuntz wrote that Trump had plausibly alleged that his reputation was damaged by the edit and that the BBC knew or should have known the clip was misleading. The ruling's reasoning included this passage: "Here, the news entity created the story. BBC admitted as much by confirming it had edited a video to make it appear as though President Trump made a statement he never made." The ruling also noted that the BBC chose to release the documentary one week before the 2024 presidential election, at the time it would have the most impact.
The lawsuit concerns the BBC Panorama documentary "Trump: A Second Chance," broadcast on October 28, 2024. A roughly twelve-second segment spliced together different parts of Trump's January 6, 2021 speech, giving the impression that he had directed supporters to storm the U.S. Capitol. The BBC has admitted that Trump never made the statements as aired, and the BBC's chairman apologized, saying the editing unintentionally created the impression of a single continuous section of the speech. The BBC previously acknowledged the edits were misleading and apologized to Trump, while denying legal liability for defamation.
The BBC had asked the court to throw out the case, warning of the chilling effect it would have on robust reporting on public figures. After the ruling, a BBC spokesperson said the broadcaster was surprised by the decision but respects the court's authority, and noted the case will now proceed to the next stage. The court ordered the BBC to file a response to the ruling by December 1.
Trump posted on Truth Social the same day, calling the ruling "a huge victory against Fake News BBC" and quoting the passage in which the court wrote that the news entity created the story. "Huge victory" is Trump's own wording in his post. As for the ruling itself, the defamation claim was allowed to proceed while the separate claim was dismissed, so the two claims did not come out the same way.
