President Donald Trump scored a significant legal victory Monday in his $10 billion lawsuit against the BBC after a federal judge allowed him to amend his complaint over the broadcaster’s controversial editing of his January 6, 2021 speech.

U.S. District Judge Roy K. Altman granted Trump’s request for leave to file a First Amended Complaint in Trump v. British Broadcasting Corporation, rejecting the BBC’s effort to block the move.

The ruling also rendered the BBC’s existing motion to dismiss the case “moot,” forcing the broadcaster to respond to Trump’s revised allegations once they are filed.

Trump sued the BBC in December in his personal capacity, accusing the broadcaster of defamation and violating Florida’s Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act.

He is seeking $5 billion under each claim, for a total of $10 billion in damages.

Trump’s attorneys sought permission to revise the original complaint, while the BBC argued that the president had missed the applicable deadline.

The broadcaster also accused Trump’s legal team of using the amendment strategically to avoid financial disclosures.

Altman rejected the BBC’s objections and gave Trump permission to move forward with the revised complaint.

Trump’s legal team celebrated the decision as a major step forward in the case.

“Today’s strong and thoughtful ruling is a major win for President Trump’s powerhouse lawsuit against the formerly respected and now disgraced BBC, which defamed President Trump by intentionally, maliciously and deceptively doctoring his speech in a brazen attempt to interfere in the 2024 Presidential Election,” a spokesman for Trump’s legal team said.

“President Trump is holding the leftist BBC, along with all of its comrades in the mainstream media, accountable for their peddling of Fake News through deception and maliciously defamatory conduct.”

The lawsuit centers on the BBC’s 2024 “Panorama” documentary, “Trump: A Second Chance?”

The documentary featured an edited version of Trump’s January 6, 2021, speech that combined remarks delivered nearly an hour apart.

The resulting sequence made it appear that Trump told supporters they were going to walk to the Capitol and “fight like hell” as part of a continuous statement.

“We’re going to walk down to the Capitol,” Trump was shown saying in the documentary.

“And I’ll be there with you. And we fight — we fight like hell.”

But that was not how Trump delivered the remarks.

Trump actually said: “We’re going to walk down to the Capitol.

“And we’re going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women, and we’re probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them, because you’ll never take back our country with weakness.

“You have to show strength, and you have to be strong.”

Trump did not use the phrase “fight like hell” until 54 minutes later, when he was speaking about fighting for election integrity.

cbs 60 minutes does the same editing bullshit

Paradise Residential Services CEO Jocelyne Ininahazwe and her family enjoyed luxury Mercedes brands while the disabled Mainers who relied on the Medicaid agency for 24/7 care were living in squalor, subject to abuse and neglect by non-English speaking staff, including some who were untrained and never subjected to background checks.

That’s the chief takeaway from documents released Friday by the Maine Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), including a termination letter to Paradise that cited “violations [that] place the health and safety of MaineCare Members in immediate jeopardy.”

“[Paradise Residential Services] failed to ensure individuals are protected from abuse, neglect, and exploitation, specifically, lack of food, spoiled food, unsanitary conditions in the home, broken glass throughout basement, individuals have been repeatedly left without staff, staff not supervising or providing services,” according to the DHHS letter.

The Robinson Report reported exclusively on Paradise’s termination back in March, which came only after the company managed to bilk the taxpayer-funded program for nearly $25 million.

Among the new documents, released in response to our Freedom of Access Act request, is a letter terminating Paradise’s provider agreement that describes systemic neglect and abuse of Maine residents, as well as fraudulent billing for residential care that was never provided.

The letter corroborates our earlier reporting, which cited formed two former employees who alleged Paradise was violating disability rights and failing to properly vet employees.

Paradise billed under the state’s most expensive Medicaid program, MaineCare Section 21, which provides round-the-clock residential care for adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or Intellectual and Developmental Disorder (IDD).

State officials were told as early as October 2024, by a former employee, of deficiencies at Paradise but failed to effectively protect disabled residents from abuse and neglect until earlier this summer.

Paradise Residential Services, according to a March 6 letter terminating the company’s MaineCare provider agreement, was found to have severely violated MaineCare policies during inspections on Dec. 13, 15, 16, 17, 18, and 19, 2025.

The violations uncovered included:

Failure to maintain clean and sanitary conditions (examples cited: filth with potential to attract rodents; resident incontinence hidden in closets rather than properly cleaned; mold on a washing machine; a member’s mother having to train employees on use of the washing machine).

Failure to ensure access to nutritious food in adequate quantities (examples: freezer containing only half a takeout drink; refrigerator limited to condiments, an uncovered tub of margarine, two foil-covered leftovers, cherry tomatoes, and three desserts, two of which were half-eaten).

Failure to ensure employees met training and background-check requirements under the College of Direct Supports curriculum and related rules.

Failures in medication management and secure storage.

Failures to protect members from abuse, neglect, or exploitation, including repeated instances of members left without staff, broken glass throughout a basement, and inadequate supervision consistent with plans of care.
