Former Conservative cabinet minister Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg said the BBC should "settle with Donald Trump" over the broadcaster's misrepresentation of his speech in the recent Panorama documentary, Trump: A Second Chance?.
Speaking on BBC Newsnight on Monday (10 November), Rees-Mogg slammed the corporation for "getting something so horribly wrong" when it edited Trump's speech to suggest he was explicitly urging people to attack the US Capitol.
He argued that a settlement would be the "sensible" option for the broadcaster, adding that he did not believe it would be "helpful” for the BBC for the government to get involved.
