BBC director general Tim Davie and CEO of News Deborah Turness have resigned over a documentary about Donald Trump
The Telegraph had published details of a leaked internal BBC memo suggesting Panorama edited two parts of Trump’s speech together so he appeared to explicitly encourage the Capitol Hill riots of January 2021
In a statement, Davie said there have been some mistakes made and as director general he has to take ultimate responsibility.
In a separate statement, Turness says “the buck stops with her” describing the decision to step down as “difficult”
