LONDON, Jan 13 (Reuters) - The BBC ‌will file a motion to dismiss U.S. President Donald Trump's $10 billion lawsuit over ‌its editing of a speech that made it appear he had directed ‌supporters to storm the U.S. Capitol.

Court documents published late on Monday showed the broadcaster would argue that the court in Florida lacked personal jurisdiction in the case because it did not broadcast the programme in Florida, ‍and that the president could not prove damages because ‍he was re-elected after it aired.
