President Donald Trump has followed through on his threat to sue the BBC over the U.K. broadcaster’s documentary. The lawsuit was filed Monday by Trump’s lawyers in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida in Miami, alleging defamation and violation of Florida’s Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act. Trump’s lawsuit demands no less than $5 billion in damages for each of the two counts, amounting to more than $10 billion total. BBC did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
