Historian Accuses BBC of Deleting His Line Calling Trump ‘Most Openly Corrupt President’

The BBC is being accused of cutting a line from a speech that called Donald Trump “the most openly corrupt” U.S. president ever as the organization faces a possible $5 billion lawsuit from Trump over a separate dispute.

The British state broadcaster is under intense pressure after it was forced to apologize and two of its senior executives resigned over an edition of a show that stitched together two parts of the president’s Jan. 6 speech.
