"On the other we had a convicted reality star (redacted). When it comes..." - insert the phrase the BBC censored

The Reith Lectures are a prestigious, long-running series, on radio, given each year, by an "intellectual" (academic, famous writer, actually-respected former politician, that kind of thing) on matters of international interest; this year by Dutch historian Rutger Bregman on "Moral Revolution". Lecture 1, broadcast on Tuesday, was "A Time on Monsters". As broadcast, and in the transcript, we got:

That reads a little strangely, and the intonation if you hear it does sound odd - the sentence ending "reality star" is a bit short. After broadcast, it has been confirmed the BBC edited out a phrase, "on legal advice". Bregman is not happy, unsurprisingly.

What would you insert there? My guess was "and adjudicated rapist". Note that "modern day Caligula" made it through - a pretty damning thing, though I guess it's more easily defensible as "rhetoric".

It turns out the missing phrase was "‘the most openly corrupt president in American history". Pretty defensible too, I'd think (747s, Rolex watches, hotel fees ...) , though I suppose since it's a more concrete claim, you'd have to enumerate it all, and the equivalent claims for all the other presidents too.

The BBC, when reporting on it, won't say what the phrase was, though other media are happy to. Of course, there's that tedious lawsuit he's threatening the BBC with, so they are being ultra-careful. Thus the adjudicated rapist and most corrupt president in American history has won, without even having to file the suit.
