Two top leaders at the British Broadcasting Corporation resigned Sunday following criticism that a documentary misleadingly edited clips of President Donald Trump’s Jan. 6, 2021, speech to make it seem like he explicitly called for violence at the U.S. Capitol.
The resignations of BBC Director General Tim Davie and BBC News CEO Deborah Turness came days after the Telegraph, a British newspaper, obtained and published a whistleblower report from Michael Prescott, a former BBC editorial standards adviser.
