In case you missed this, the BBC edited a historian's speech about Trump to remove the claim that he's "the most openly corrupt president in US history." This came after Trump had threatened a $1 billion lawsuit.

Translation: Trump's threat of a lawsuit, no matter how bogus, has now been rewarded.
