Trump's billion dollar battle with the BBC - what's at stake

Trump's billion dollar battle with the BBC - what's at stake

Donald Trump has told Fox News he has an "obligation" to sue the BBC - claiming the broadcaster "defrauded the public" in the way a Panorama episode misleadingly edited a clip of his January 6th speech.

The dispute has made it on to Joe Rogan's podcast, and the BBC is being hauled into the 'fake news' category by MAGA commentators.

Jon and Emily speak to Andrew Weissmann, law professor and former FBI general counsel.
