The BBC is under investigation by the US communications regulator, Federal Communications Commission (FCC), for a misleading edit of a speech by former US President Donald Trump. This follows an apology from the BBC for creating a "mistaken impression" that Trump advocated "violent action" before the January 6, 2021 assault on the US Capitol.

• The BBC edited a speech, splicing together clips 54 minutes apart, making it appear President Trump uttered a sentence he never said.
• Brendan Carr, chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, sent a letter to the BBC and two American broadcasters to determine if FCC regulations were violated.
• Trump has threatened a $5 billion lawsuit over the incident, with his legal team calling the edit "false, defamatory, malicious, disparaging, and inflammatory."
