BBC Newsnight is also accused of doctoring Donald Trump speech: Edited clip of Capital Hill address aired two years before Panorama and bosses ‘ignored concerns’

The BBC has been accused of doctoring footage of a Donald Trump speech on Newsnight two years before a similarly edited clip was shown on Panorama.

Footage of a speech given by the US President on January 6, 2021, was edited in a way that appeared to show him inciting his followers to storm the Capitol building in Washington DC.

It was shown in an episode of Newsnight in June 2022, more than two years before a similarly spliced clip was aired in a BBC Panorama documentary.
