British news channel BBC "doctored" President Donald Trump's speech on Jan. 6, 2021, to make it appear he called on supporters to riot at the Capitol before lawmakers certified the 2020 election. 

The alteration was exposed in an internal memo first reported by British newspaper The Telegraph. The doctored footage concerned Trump's speech on the Ellipse as aired by BBC's Panorama in a 2024 special called Trump: A Second Chance. 

The broadcast trimmed Trump's remarks to make it seem he said he would walk to the Capitol with his supporters to "fight, fight like hell." 

In reality, Trump said he would walk to the Capitol to "cheer on" lawmakers opposing the certification. The "fight like hell" line came nearly an hour later, long after he vowed to head to the Capitol. 

Worse still, Trump had explicitly called on his supporters to "peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard."
