(Reuters) -Donald Trump's legal team said on Thursday the U.S. president has not yet filed a lawsuit against the BBC over the broadcaster's editing of a speech he made in 2021 on the day his supporters overran the Capitol.

On Sunday, Trump sent a letter to the BBC threatening legal action against the broadcaster, which this week said the editing amounted to an "error of judgment." The letter demanded the BBC issue an apology and compensate Trump for damages.
