We fight like hell.”

However, Trump-appointed Judge Jeffrey Kuntz dismissed the BBC’s motion on Tuesday.
asserted

In his ruling, the judge pointed out that “to make sure it [documentary] was seen in Florida, BBC even emailed US and Florida-based commenters with instructions on how to view the documentary.”
asserted
BBC → point → documentary
The judge also noted that the BBC is a global organisation with an office in Florida.
asserted
BBC → note → Florida
On Trump’s claim, the judge ruled that his claims “extend beyond negligence and plead a claim of recklessness” and, he added, “that is more than enough to satisfy the notice-pleading standard.”
uncertain
that → rule → standard
In a social media post on Truth Social, Trump said the ruling was “a huge victory against fake news BBC, a terrible abuser of the truth.”
asserted
