> Judge Jeffrey T Kuntz partly rejected the BBC’s bid to dismiss Donald Trump’s $10bn defamation suit over a documentary that spliced together remarks he made nearly 55 minutes apart before the US Capitol insurrection. Trump must still prove actual malice and damages at trial. The judge dismissed his claim under Florida’s deceptive trade practices law.
