BBC investigates insider trading rumours swirling around Trump's presidency​

The BBC has found a pattern of spikes in trades on financial markets ahead of public announcements by US President Donal Trump, including during the Iran war.

It is a suspicion that has loomed over Trump's entire second term in office.

The president makes an announcement on social media which moves the financial markets and hours, sometimes minutes before, traders pile millions of dollars into a stock or commodity, profiting heavily from the market reaction.

By analysing market data, the BBC has identified two clear examples from the Iran war when the US president had declared a resolution to hostilities was imminent.

On both occasions, the price of oil dropped significantly – and in each case, oil trades spiked minutes before the information was made public. Analysts say that millions of dollars would have been made predicting the dip.

The White House has not responded to a request for comment – although it has strenuously denied allegations of insider trading in the past.

Now why would the BBC be trying to discredit the Trump Presidency?...... oh perhaps because of this?

US President Donald Trump has sued the BBC for defamation over edited clips of a speech that made it appear he directed supporters to storm the US Capitol.
Mr Trump accused the BBC of defaming him by splicing together parts of a January 6, 2021 speech, including one section where he told supporters to march on the Capitol and another where he said "fight like hell".
It omitted a section in which he called for peaceful protest.
Mr Trump's lawsuit alleges the BBC defamed him and violated a Florida law that bars deceptive and unfair trade practices.
He is seeking $US10 billion ($15.1 billion) in damages.
The BBC has apologised to the president for the Panorama documentary, admitting the edit gave the mistaken impression that he had made a direct call for violent action.
But it says there is no legal basis for a defamation claim.
In his lawsuit filed in Miami federal court, Mr Trump said that despite its apology, the BBC "has made no showing of actual remorse for its wrongdoing nor meaningful institutional changes to prevent future journalistic abuses".
