Our correspondent in Washington, Sean Dilley, was watching his interview.
He was very unhappy with the BBC.
He said he has an obligation that things get found out when there is litigation.
And he said that for him, he just wants to understand who thinks like that.
Ultimately, who would edit the words he used and why.
So broadly, what we also learned throughout not just the GB News interview, but his gaggle with
journalist on Air Force One.
He said that he would hope that the action would start probably in the next week somewhere in a court in the United States.
And it would be for an amount he'd hoped to get between $1 billion and $5 billion.
So we are talking quite a lot of money there.
And how do you think he seemed in the interview?
Going just in terms of how he sounds, I think he probably sounds quite hurt.
But he's somebody who does take to heart any personal criticism.
In the United States, the media here aren't as interested in this topic as the UK media are.
But it so happens that the BBC is already a matter of public debate and its role in public life and politics and beyond.
So I think he's probably had quite an outpouring of supporters when he was sort of agreeing to do his GB News interview and speak to The Telegraph, who first reported about the leaked memo from Michael Prescott and the Panorama programme itself.
So I think he sounded like somebody who felt justified in what he was doing.
Now, it's further to judge whether he is justified.
He isn't justified.
Maybe you take one view on that either way.
