Federal agencies are seeking to join President Donald Trump’s $10 billion lawsuit against the BBC over a documentary that spliced together portions of his January 6 address.

The move mirrors a previous strategy used by the administration in the E. Jean Carroll defamation case, where a similar attempt did not succeed.
