Professor Howard Wasserman recently was interviewed by the BBC about jurisdictional and evidentiary matters relating to President Trump’s potential defamation lawsuit against the BBC over an edited recording of a speech the President gave on January 6, 2020. 

The interview provided valuable insight into the requirements for establishing a cause of action for defamation, the standards applicable to public figures in such cases, and the jurisdictional nuances that can affect how and where jurisdiction can be established.
