‘Do NOT interrupt me!’ Nana Akua scolds GB News guest pleading with Donald Trump not to sue the BBC

In a world-exclusive interview at the White House, the US President told GB News that he will continue pursuing legal action against the corporation as it is his "obligation".

Speaking on The People's Channel today, leader of the Climate Party Ed Gamble pleaded with the US President and asked him to "be the bigger man".

Mr Gamble said: “What he ought to say is that he doesn't want just a letter of apology.

"He should say what I want is a clear plan setting out how things are going to be put right so this doesn’t happen to anyone else.

"I have an obligation to protect other people in the future, like Nigel Farage or the Prime Minister, and I want it done the right way.”

Nana responded: "Can I just stop you there. That is his obligation, and that’s how he believes it should proceed."

Mr Gamble tried to interject and the GB News host said: "No, don’t interrupt me."

She continued: "That will stop them from ever doing it again, ever. And if it means that they’re finished, which would be very sad, then at least it will teach them a lesson: you don’t manipulate things on television in that manner.

"We’re not allowed to do that. Neither should they. If we were sued, would that be acceptable?

"If we did it here at GB News to perhaps you or somebody else or really, really important person like yourself, would you just be happy with us just saying sorry?

If we just said we're really sorry that we doctored the clip, it would look really, really bad."

During his appearance on Britain’s News Channel last night, Mr Trump said he still intends to pursue the lawsuit, even after receiving a "very nice" apology letter from the BBC.

The fallout from the scandal led to the resignations of BBC director general Tim Davie and head of news Deborah Turness last week.

The BBC released a statement earlier this week that read: " Lawyers for the BBC have written to President Trump’s legal team in response to a letter received on Sunday.

“BBC Chair Samir Shah has separately sent a personal letter to the White House making clear to President Trump that he and the Corporation are sorry for the edit of the President’s speech on 6 January 2021, which featured in the programme.

“The BBC has no plans to rebroadcast the documentary ‘Trump: A Second Chance?’ on any BBC platforms.

“While the BBC sincerely regrets the manner in which the video clip was edited, we strongly disagree there is a basis for a defamation claim.”
