LONDON (AP) — Outgoing BBC Director-General Tim Davie has left a broadcast institution in turmoil after U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to sue over the way his speech was edited in a documentary.
The publicly funded broadcaster is facing its most serious crisis in years over accusations of bias and misleading editing of Trump’s speech on Jan. 6, 2021, before a crowd of his supporters stormed the Capitol in Washington.
The BBC’s chair apologized for an “error of judgment,” and both Davie and head of news Deborah Turness resigned on Sunday.
Davie, who had spent two decades at the BBC, oversaw a series of controversies at the corporation during his five-year tenure as director general.
