BBC accused of selectively editing Trump clip about Capitol attack

Panorama spliced together clips to make it appear clearer US president encouraged January 6 attack, former external adviser says

The BBC has been accused of selectively editing a Donald Trump speech to make it appear clearer that he encouraged the US Capitol attack, according to a former external adviser to the corporation.

An edition of Panorama, broadcast a week before the US election, spliced together clips of a Trump speech made on January 6. The spliced clip suggested that Trump told the crowd: “We’re going to walk down to the Capitol and I’ll be there with you, and we fight. We fight like hell.”
