ABC News Settles Defamation Lawsuit with Trump for $15 Million

In a significant development, ABC News has agreed to settle a defamation lawsuit with former US President Donald Trump for a whopping $15 million. The lawsuit was filed in March 2024, following a contentious interview with Rep. Nancy Mace, where Trump was falsely accused of being 'found liable for rape' in a civil case. The comments made by George Stephanopoulos during the interview sparked the lawsuit, which has now been settled out of court. As part of the settlement, $15 million will be allocated to a presidential foundation and museum established by Trump. Interestingly, the settlement also covers $1 million in legal fees. This settlement marks a significant victory for Trump, who has been involved in several high-profile lawsuits in recent years. The details of the settlement have been revealed in court documents, which show that ABC News has agreed to pay the hefty sum to settle the defamation lawsuit. The settlement is a testament to the ongoing tensions between the media and public figures, and highlights the importance of responsible reporting in the digital age.
