BBC News says it received legal threat from Trump over speech edit

Director General of BBC Tim Davie and Chief Executive of BBC News Deborah Turness resign following criticism over Trump documentary edit

LONDON (Reuters) -BBC News said on Monday the broadcaster had received a letter from U.S. President Donald Trump threatening legal action over the edit of a documentary broadcast a week before the U.S. presidential election.

The BBC has acknowledged the Trump speech edit gave a misleading impression and should have been handled more carefully.
