BREAKING: Trump wins $15 million settlement from ABC in defamation suit after George Stephanopoulos claimed he was found ‘liable for rape’

According to Fox News, the top anchor as well as ABC will have to shell out the $15 million after Stephanopoulos claimed that Trump was "liable for rape" during an interview with Nancy Mace.

"ABC News and George Stephanopoulos regret statements regarding President Donald J. Trump made during an interview by George Stephanopoulos with Rep. Nancy Mace on ABC’s This Week on March 10, 2024," an apology from the network stated.

The settlement agreement stated, “ABC shall cause a transfer in the amount of fifteen million U.S, dollars to be made to a Presidential foundation and museum to be established by or for Plaintiff, as Presidents of the United States of America have established in the past, in full settlement and satisfaction of Plaintiff's Released Claims.”

The agreement also required that ABC issue the apology over the claims made by Stephanopoulos in an editor's note on an article published on March 10, 2024. The settlement was publicly disclosed on Saturday to reveal the payment to not only Trump, but also $1 million in legal fees to Trump’s attorney.

When Mace appeared on the network with Stephanopoulos, he asked her how she could endorse Trump when "judges and two separate juries have found him liable for rape and for defaming the victim of that rape."

He repeated the claim 10 times on air with Mace when the jury had actually ruled Trump was liable for "sexual abuse" in the case of E. Jean Carroll. The settlement between Trump and ABC News came after Trump as well as Stephanopoulos were ordered to sit down for depositions in the lawsuit.
