00:18although he, however, threw out a second claim which Trump had brought under Florida's Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act.
00:26The case centers on a BBC Panorama documentary that spliced together two separate parts of the speech Trump gave on
00:356 January 2021.
00:37The edit made it appear that Trump had explicitly urged his supporters to attack the U.S. Capitol in Washington.
