Senior leaders of the British Broadcasting Corporation, including chairman Samir Shah, are set to appear before lawmakers to address concerns over the organization's editorial standards. The session follows a threat from United States President Donald Trump to file a billion-dollar lawsuit after a documentary allegedly misrepresented his January 6, 2021 speech. The controversy has intensified scrutiny of the broadcaster's handling of politically sensitive topics, with former adviser Michael Prescott highlighting issues of perceived bias in coverage of international conflicts and social issues. The crisis at the corporation has deepened with recent high-profile resignations and public apologies to the White House for the misleading edit.
