Licence fee payers' money must not be used to pay off Donald Trump by the BBC over the Panorama editing scandal, former Conservative Culture secretary Sir John Whittingdale has said.
Whittingdale told Chopper's Political Podcast that the BBC had to tell Trump that using the licence fee to pay compensation to the US President would be unacceptable.
On Monday, the President had threatened the corporation with a $1billion-valued lawsuit over the "biased" footage, which aired in a Panorama documentary before his 2024 election triumph.
He gave it until 10pm on Friday to apologise and offer a settlement figure - or face his lawyers in a Florida court.
Since then Trump has now said it is his "obligation" to sue the BBC for defamation after the broadcaster allegedly doctored footage of him in a speech.
Asked about the scandal, Whittingdale said: "They [the BBC] did do him [Trump] a grave injustice. And he is entitled to have that apology. Now, the billion dollar lawsuit - we know Trump. He loves a sort of headline, and he's a businessman.
"If the BBC said, 'look, we absolutely got this wrong. We really do apologise. But you've got to understand that this is not our money. It's paid for by the British taxpayer' and we would have real problems.
"And if the British government made it clear that they were very sympathetic to the request that Donald Trump should accept the apology..."

Reform UK’s Head of Policy Zia Yusuf joins Christopher Hope in Westminster where he explains why he believes Britain’s political class has betrayed the public, why anger is rising across the country, and why Nigel Farage could become the most consequential Prime Minister in modern history.
From immigration and welfare reform to the future of Reform UK’s shadow cabinet, Yusuf sets out his vision for a radically different Britain and why he believes more MPs will lose their seats at the next general election than ever before.

Safeguarding minister Jess Phillips will not allow there to be "a stitch up" over the grooming gangs scandal, one of her key Labour allies has said, as five victims said she should not have to resign.
Phillips position as the minister in charge of the grooming gangs inquiry is under threat after four victims quit a panel advising the setting up of the statutory grooming gangs inquiry and called for Phillips to quit.
However Natalie Fleet, Labour MP for Bolsover, backed Phillips and said she was intent on delivering justice for the victims.
Phillips has campaigned successfully for a law change which comes into force on Monday to stop rapists who make their victims pregnant from having access to their children.

Boris Johnson should stop defending the so-called "Boris wave" of hundreds of thousands of migrants who arrived legally in the UK when he was Prime Minister, a Tory grandee has said.
Sir Geoffrey Clifton-Brown, the treasurer of the 1922 committee of backbench Tory MPs which helps to select future leaders, said Johnson should be "seen and not heard".

The Government's new digital identity card will not be known as a "BritCard", Downing Street has confirmed.
The digital identity card - unveiled last week by Sir Keir Starmer - was immediately dubbed "the BritCard" as that was the name given to the scheme by Labour Together, the influential left-wing think tank close to No10, in the summer.
The concept of a "BritCard" immediately led to pushback from politicians in devolved UK regions, notably Northern Ireland, where nationalists would have boycotted the scheme if it were known as a "BritCard".
In an interview with GB News' Chopper's Political Podcast, Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar said he had been given assurances that the new ID card would not be called the BritCard.

People are attaching the St George's and union flags to lamp-posts to "express solidarity with each other" and show they are not "embarrassed about being British", a leading peer has said.
Baroness Fox of Buckley also criticised what she described as "a kind of form of snobbery that's basically anti working class" among the UK's ruling class towards ordinary Britons.
And this in turn led to an inability of the Establishment to comprehend why Reform UK leader Nigel Farage is so popular among voters.

Lord Glasman, the founder of the Blue Labour group which represents Labour supporters in areas targeted by Reform UK, told Chopper's Political Podcast that Starmer "may or may not" survive as leader at the next election expected in 2029.

The Conservatives will never merge with Reform UK as the party would take the country "into a very dark place", shadow Chancellor Sir Mel Stride has said.

Sir Mel also launched a personal attack on Farage saying that he could not build a team to run the country and his party was a "one man band".

Sir Keir Starmer will have "questions to answer" about the Crown Prosecution Service's failures over the grooming gangs scandal when he was the Director of Public Prosecutions, a shadow Cabinet minister has said.
Chris Philp, the shadow Home Secretary, said Starmer might be nervous over what an inquiry might uncover because that CPS had "early on" made some mistakes over prosecuting alleged perpetrators.
Starmer was in charge of the CPS as the chief prosecutor in England and Wales between 2008 and 2014 during a period when failures by the CPS over the grooming gangs scandal were highlighted in previous reports.

Snubbing Donald Trump would have cost tens of thousands of jobs, Business secretary Jonathan Reynolds has warned as the US President prepares to touch down in the UK for a four day visit.
Reynolds also said that he would be pressing the US to agree to cut tariffs on UK exports to the USA to zero in meetings with Trump's team over this weekend ahead of an expected meeting between Trump and UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer on Monday.
Trump is expected to be greeted by protesters when he visits his golf courses in Scotland, while the Liberal Democrats have repeatedly said that the UK government had to take a tougher stance with Trump.
However Reynolds told today's Chopper's Political Podcast said that he "would respect any legitimate leader of a key ally in partner".

A Government review to draw up a definition of Islamophobia will not result in a blasphemy law "by the back door", the chairman of the review has insisted.
Angela Rayner, the Deputy Prime Minister, set up a five-person working group, chaired by the former Tory attorney general Dominic Grieve to introduce a formal definition of Islamophobia to combat anti-Muslim hatred.
In opposition, Labour said it would adopt a controversial definition of Islamophobia which was drawn up in 2018 by all-party parliamentary group which critics say is so widely drawn that it would act as a de facto blasphemy law and stifle criticism of Islam.
In his first interview since being appointed in February Grieve told GB News' Chopper's Political Podcast, that his review - which he said will report in the Autumn - and it would not lead to restrictions on freedom of speech.

The UK needs a "national reckoning" on the rape gangs scandal according to a rising star red wall MP.
Jonathan Hinder, Labour MP for Pendle and Clitheroe, told GB News' Chopper's Political Podcast: "We need a national reckoning on this. And I would say that we should be seriously thinking about whether a national inquiry is required."
Hinder - a member of the 'blue Labour' group of MPs - said that the audit of the scandal by Baroness Casey would inform next steps.

Nigel Farage's 'Doge unit' which has been charged with exposing waste in Reform UK's councils will expose "the biggest national scandal we've seen in a decade", one of its key figures says.
Arron Banks - who was dubbed one of the "bad boys of Brexit" after he helped to fund one Nigel Farage's Brexit campaign at the 2016 European Union referendum - is helping to head up the unit as it seeks to show voters that Reform UK is focused on getting a better result for taxpayers.
Banks said the findings would be bigger than the Daily Telegraph's uncovering of widescale abuses of the MPs' expenses system which led to dozens of MPs quitting, others being imprisoned and the historic resignation of the Commons speaker in 2009.
