Network and anchor agree to settlement in defamation lawsuit Trump filed against network earlier this year
ABC News and anchor George Stephanopoulos agreed on Saturday to pay $15m to a foundation and museum to be established by Donald Trump as part of a settlement in the defamation lawsuit Trump filed against the network earlier this year.
In addition to $15m, ABC News and Stephanopoulos agreed to issue statements of regret surrounding a March interview Stephanopoulos had with South Carolina’s Republican representative – and Trump ally – Nancy Mace in which he repeatedly claimed that Trump had been found “liable for rape”.
