U.S. District Judge Jeffrey T. Kuntz of the Southern District of Florida on November 10, 2026, denied in part the BBC’s motion to dismiss President Trump’s $10 billion lawsuit. In a 40-page order in case 1:25-cv-25894, signed in Fort Lauderdale, Kuntz allowed the defamation claim to proceed and dismissed the claim under the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act. The ruling does not decide whether President Trump will prevail or recover damages.
美国佛罗里达州南区联邦地区法院法官杰弗里·T·昆茨(Jeffrey T. Kuntz)于2026年11月10日部分驳回英国广播公司(BBC)提出的驳回起诉动议,川普总统对BBC提起的100亿美元诉讼因此得以继续。昆茨在劳德代尔堡签署了这份40页的裁决,案号为1:25-cv-25894。诽谤指控获准进入下一阶段,依据《佛罗里达州欺骗和不公平贸易行为法》提出的指控则被驳回。这项裁决并未判定川普总统是否会胜诉或获得赔偿。
The lawsuit concerns a BBC Panorama documentary titled “Trump: A Second Chance?” The program first aired on BBC One on October 28, 2024, one week before the 2024 U.S. presidential election. It included a 12-second segment that spliced together two portions of President Trump’s January 6, 2021, speech that were nearly 55 minutes apart.
这起诉讼涉及BBC《全景》节目播出的纪录片《川普:第二次机会?》。该片于2024年10月28日在BBC第一台首播,正值2024年美国总统选举前一周。片中有一段12秒的画面,把川普总统2021年1月6日演讲中相隔近55分钟的两段话剪接到一起。
In the order, Kuntz wrote: “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.” He also wrote: “This was not trimming around the edges but creating something different than what was stated in the speech.” The judge said that, given the time gap, “the distance itself tends toward a plausible inference that BBC knew or should have known that the segment they were creating would not and could not have been a truthful statement.”
昆茨在裁决中写道:“这里,新闻机构创造了这个故事。BBC自己也承认了这一点,确认它剪辑了一段视频,使之看起来像是川普总统说出了他从未说过的话。”他还写道:“这不是在边缘上做修剪,而是制造出了与演讲原话不同的内容。”法官表示,鉴于两段话之间的时间差距,“这段距离本身就足以构成一项看似合理的推论,即BBC知道或应当知道,他们正在制作的片段不会、也不可能是真实的表述。”
Kuntz emphasized that the merits remain unresolved. “Whether President Trump can prove these claims and establish he sustained damages at summary judgment or trial is left for another day,” he wrote. He found that President Trump had, at this stage, plausibly alleged reputational harm and actual malice, the legal standard a public figure must meet to go forward with a defamation claim. Proving those allegations, the judge said, is for a later inquiry. Kuntz is a Trump appointee. President Trump nominated him on April 14, 2026; the Senate confirmed him on July 15, 2026, and his commission was issued on August 10, 2026.
昆茨强调,案件实体问题尚未解决。他写道:“川普总统能否在简易判决或庭审中证明这些主张,并证明他遭受了损害,留待改日再议。”法官认定,在目前阶段,川普总统已初步充分主张了声誉损害和“实际恶意”。这是公众人物要将诽谤诉讼推进下去所须满足的法律标准。法官说,这些主张能否得到证明,要等到后续程序再审查。昆茨是由川普总统提名任命的法官。川普总统于2026年4月14日提名他,参议院于2026年7月15日确认,任命状于2026年8月10日签发。
The dispute became public in November 2025, after a leaked internal memo described the edit. On November 9, 2025, BBC Director-General Tim Davie and the chief executive of BBC News, Deborah Turness, resigned. The next day, BBC Chair Samir Shah apologized for an “error of judgement” and accepted that the way the speech was edited “did give the impression of a direct call for violent action.” The BBC later posted a retraction on the programme page, said the impression was “unintentional,” and stated that the documentary would not be rebroadcast in that form on any BBC platforms. The corporation has rejected paying damages.
这场争议在2025年11月因一份泄露的内部备忘录而公开。2025年11月9日,BBC总裁蒂姆·戴维(Tim Davie)和BBC新闻首席执行官德博拉·特内斯(Deborah Turness)辞职。次日,BBC董事长萨米尔·沙阿(Samir Shah)为“判断失误”道歉,并承认演讲的剪辑方式“确实造成了直接号召采取暴力行动的印象”。BBC后来在节目页面刊登更正,称这一印象是“非故意的”,并表示不会再以这一形式在任何BBC平台重播该纪录片。该机构拒绝支付赔偿。

President Trump called the ruling a victory on Truth Social. He wrote: “A Huge Victory against Fake News BBC, a terrible abuser of the truth, just handed down by highly respected District Court Judge, Jeffrey T. Kuntz, of the Southern District of Florida. In his powerful ruling, Judge Kuntz wrote, ‘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.’ We will continue fighting against, and defeating, all of those who try to deceive the American People!” Those characterizations of the BBC, and the description of the ruling as a “Huge Victory,” are President Trump’s own comments. The court has not found defamation proven.
川普总统在Truth Social上称这项裁决是一场胜利。他写道:“这是对假新闻BBC的巨大胜利,它是严重歪曲真相者。这项裁决由备受尊敬的佛罗里达州南区联邦地区法院法官杰弗里·T·昆茨刚刚作出。在他有力的裁决中,昆茨法官写道:‘这里,新闻机构创造了这个故事。BBC自己也承认了这一点,确认它剪辑了一段视频,使之看起来像是川普总统说出了他从未说过的话。’我们将继续打击并击败所有试图欺骗美国人民的人!”把BBC称作“假新闻”和“严重歪曲真相者”,以及把裁决称为“巨大胜利”,都是川普总统本人的评论。法院尚未认定诽谤已经得到证明。
A BBC spokesperson said: “We are surprised by this decision but respect the Court’s authority and note the case will now proceed to the next stage.” The spokesperson added: “We remain confident in our position and will continue to respond through the proper legal process. It would be inappropriate to comment further while proceedings are ongoing.”
BBC发言人表示:“我们对这一决定感到意外,但尊重法院的权威,并注意到案件现在将进入下一阶段。”发言人还说:“我们仍对自己的立场有信心,并将继续通过正当法律程序作出回应。在诉讼进行期间,不宜再作进一步评论。”
The judge also rejected the BBC’s argument that the Florida court lacked personal jurisdiction. He ordered the BBC to file an answer to the defamation claim on or before December 1, 2026. He dismissed the Florida unfair-trade claim, writing that even if the BBC has commercial purposes, that does not convert the documentary into commercial speech under the statute.
法官同时驳回了BBC关于佛罗里达州法院缺乏对人管辖权的主张。他命令BBC须在2026年12月1日或之前就诽谤指控提交答辩。他就佛罗里达州不公平贸易指控予以驳回,写道:即便BBC具有商业目的,也不能因此把这部纪录片转化为该法所称的商业言论。
