@cdarwin@c.imDonald Trump followed through on his threats to sue the BBC over its editing of his remarks on Jan. 6, 2021, for a documentary.
The following can be attributed to Seth Stern, director of advocacy at Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF):
“If any ordinary person filed as many frivolous multibillion-dollar lawsuits as Donald Trump, they’d be sanctioned and placed on a restricted filers list.
By my count, Trump has demanded at least $65 billion in damages from media outlets i…
@rmdes@mstdn.socialEn 2018, un verdict belge semblait enfin mettre fin Š une affaire vieille de 20 ans.
En 2025, certaines indemnisations sont toujours en suspens.
Pendant ce temps, en France, l’enquête OKC/Spatz — rouverte officiellement en 2021 — n’a toujours pas abouti.
