Donald Trump unleashed a fiery critique of BBC executives, accusing them of interfering in the US presidential race, following the unexpected resignation of the media giant’s director-general.

The former president voiced his concerns amid the departure of top BBC figures, linked to allegations of altering his speech for a Panorama episode, which led to misleading the audience.

“The top brass at BBC, including their leader TIM DAVIE, have either quit or been dismissed after being caught ‘doctoring’ my excellent (PERFECT!) January 6th speech,” Trump stated on Truth Social Sunday afternoon.

He expressed gratitude to The Telegraph for unveiling these “corrupt ‘journalists’,” labeling them as deceitful individuals who attempted to skew the presidential election.

“Moreover, they hail from a foreign nation, one often regarded as our closest ally. Such actions are a grave affront to democracy!” he added.

Along with Director-General Davie, the corporation’s CEO of News, Deborah Turness, also resigned following criticism of the BBC documentary.

The company came under fire regarding clips edited together from sections of Trump’s January 6, 2021, speech, making it appear that he told supporters he was going to walk to the US Capitol with them to ‘fight like hell.’

The documentary ‘Trump: A Second Chance?’ was broadcast by the BBC the week before last year’s US election.

‘There have been some mistakes made and as director general I have to take ultimate responsibility,’ Davie admitted in a statement. 

Turness denied accusations that the BBC is inherently biased, but addressed the harm the Trump-centered controversy had done to the media brand.

‘The ongoing controversy around the Panorama on President Trump has reached a stage where it is causing damage to the BBC – an institution that I love,’ she said. ‘The buck stops with me.’

‘While mistakes have been made, I want to be absolutely clear recent allegations that BBC News is institutionally biased are wrong,’ she added. 

Despite Turness’ assertion, her and Davie’s departures came after the BBC was plunged into a fresh crisis this week. 

An internal dossier was released – exposing a string of incidents demonstrating apparent bias in the company’s reporting. 

Along with his statement calling out Davies for corruption, Trump shared a Daily Mail column by Boris Johnson, where the former Prime Minister vowed to withhold his license fee over the impartiality issue.

Deborah Turness, the CEO of News, has also resigned following criticism that the BBC documentary misled viewers

The White House had previously accused the BBC of ‘100 percent fake news.’

Press secretary Karoline Leavitt said: ‘This purposefully dishonestly, selectively edited clip by the BBC is further evidence that they are total, 100 percent fake news that should no longer be worth the time on the television screens of the great people of the United Kingdom.’

Leavitt posted a two-word response to Davie’s resignation, alongside two screenshots of news articles.

One clip stated that ‘Trump goes to war with “fake news” BBC’ and the other announced Davie’s resignation.

She cheekily wrote ‘shot’ above the first article, adding ‘chaser’ above the second, indicating the White House’s pleasure in how ‘the war’ they started panned out. 

Following the departures, Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy said: ‘I want to thank Tim Davie for his service to public broadcasting over many years. 

‘He has led the BBC through a period of significant change and helped the organization to grip the challenges it has faced in recent years.

‘Now more than ever, the need for trusted news and high quality programming is essential to our democratic and cultural life, and our place in the world.

‘As a government, we will support the Board as it manages this transition and ensure that the Charter Review is the catalyst that helps the BBC to adapt to this new era and secures its role at the heart of national life for decades to come.’
