ABC News and George Stephanopoulos agree to $15m payout in Trump case

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”.
