"Whether President Trump can prove these claims and establish he sustained damages at summary judgment or trial is left for another day," but the BBC must face trial for defamation, according to Kuntz, dismissing Trump's second claim for violating the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act.

The biggest challenge for the court may be whether it can seat jurors who can overcome the case’s underlying political elements," George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley wrote.

He emphasized Judge Kuntz "found sufficient evidence of actual malice at BBC," the defamation standard Trump must meet as a public official.

Trump → emphasize → official
Kuntz said its prior coverage of Trump goes beyond "merely portrayal in a negative light" and looks more like "BBC playing fast and loose with the factual accuracy of their media content."
asserted
BBC → say → content
