A federal judge in Florida allowed Donald Trump’s $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the BBC to proceed, Matzav.com reported, rejecting the broadcaster’s attempt to have the central allegation dismissed.
The case concerns what Matzav.com described as a controversially edited version of Trump’s January 6, 2021, speech. The report said the ruling preserved the central defamation allegation while allowing the lawsuit, which seeks $10 billion in damages, to move forward.
The judge dismissed a separate claim involving unfair trade practices, according to Matzav.com. The decision therefore allows the defamation claim to continue but does not resolve the lawsuit’s final outcome.
Matzav.com published its report on November 11, 2026, and described the ruling as having occurred on Tuesday. The supplied material does not identify the judge, the specific court or the case number, and does not establish a final judgment in the dispute.
