Nov 11 (Jowhar)- Dagaal sharci oo aad u culus oo u dhexeeya Madaxweynaha Mareykanka Donald Trump iyo BBC ayaa socda ka dib markii garsoore federaal ah uu diiday inuu tuuro dacwaddiisa sumcad xumada ee bilyan doolar ah oo ka dhan ah weriyeha Ingiriiska.
Mr Trump ayaa ku eedeeyay BBC inay si khiyaano ah u tafatirtay filim dokumentari ah oo ku saabsan dhacdooyinkii 6-dii Janaayo, 2021, si uu u soo jeediyo inuu kicinayo rabshado markii uu taageerayaasha u sheegay inay ku socdaan Aqalka Cad ee Mareykanka.
Dacwadda, wuxuu raadinayaa ugu yaraan $5 bilyan (€4.44 bilyan) dacwad sumcad xumada ah, iyo $5 bilyan oo kale (€4.44 bilyan) oo hoos timaada dacwad gaar ah oo hoos timaada sharciga ilaalinta macaamiisha ee Florida.
Garsooraha Degmada Mareykanka Jeffrey Kuntz ayaa diiday codsiga BBC ee ah inuu meesha ka saaro dacwadda sumcad xumada.
Si kastaba ha ahaatee, Garsoore Kuntz ayaa diiday dacwadda sharciga ilaalinta Florida.
“Haddii Madaxweyne Trump uu caddeyn karo sheegashooyinkan oo uu xaqiijin karo inuu magdhaw helay xukun kooban ama maxkamadeyn ayaa loo daayay maalin kale,” ayuu Garsoore Kuntz ku qoray xukun 40 bog ah.
Inkiraadku wuxuu sababay dhaawac dhab ah
Dhexdhexaadka khilaafka waxaa ku jira dukumeenti BBC ah oo, sida ku cad xukunka, isku daray laba qaybood oo kala duwan oo ka mid ah khudbaddii Mr Trump ee 6-dii Janaayo 2021, taasoo abuurtay aragti ah inuu si toos ah ugu boorriyay taageerayaasha inay weeraraan Aqalka Sare ee Mareykanka.
BBC waxay raaligelin ka bixisay dhacdadaas, taasoo keentay in madax sare oo badan ay is casilaan, laakiin waxay ku adkaysatay in wax ka beddelka uusan Mr Trump u geysan wax dhaawac dhab ah.
“When considering the time difference between the two statements, the distance itself leans towards a reasonable suggestion that the BBC was aware or should have been aware that the part they were creating would not be and could not be a true statement,” said the judge.
“This was not about the corners but created something different from what was stated in the speech.”
Mr. Trump welcomed the decision in a statement he posted on Truth Social, calling it a “Great Victory.”
“We will continue to fight, and defeat, all those who attempt to deceive the American People!” he added.
The case has also raised procedural disputes. Last month, Mr. Trump faced a challenge when a court judge ordered him to sit for a hearing before December 11, after the BBC argued that he was avoiding efforts to obtain sworn testimony.
The court stated that Mr. Trump is at risk of sanctions if he does not appear at that time, including the dismissal of his case.
