Nov. 9 (UPI) -- President Donald Trump on Sunday rejoiced in the abrupt resignations of the BBC's director-general Tim Davie and news head Deborah Turness after allegations that one of its program's misleadingly edited a he made on Jan. 6, 2021.
"The top people in the BBC, including Tim Davie, the boss, are all quitting/fired, because they were caught 'doctoring' my very good (perfect!) speech of Jan. 6. Thank you to The Telegraph for exposing these corrupt 'journalists,'" Trump said on his Truth Social platform.
Davie and Turness are reported to have resigned by the BBC and there has not been evidence to suggest that they were fired.
"These are very dishonest people who tried to step on the scales of a presidential election," Trump said. "On top of everything else, they are from a foreign country, one that many consider our number one ally. What a terrible thing for democracy!"
