What happened with Donald Trump and ABC News? ABC News agreed to pay $15 million to settle a defamation lawsuit filed by President-elect Donald Trump. The lawsuit stemmed from an on-air statement by ABC anchor George Stephanopoulos, who inaccurately claimed that Trump had been found liable for rape. The settlement includes a $15 million contribution to Trump’s presidential foundation and museum, as well as $1 million in legal fees.
The settlement also requires ABC News to publish an editor’s note expressing regret for the statements made during the March 10, 2024, segment. This case has sparked significant media attention and discussions about defamation and media accountability. George Stephanopoulos also deactivated his X account, but it’s unclear if he left to avoid scrutiny, or he was required to legally.
