ABC News has reached a $15 million settlement with President-elect Donald Trump, resolving a defamation lawsuit linked to anchor George Stephanopoulos’ inaccurate remarks about a sexual abuse case.
The lawsuit arose from Stephanopoulos' comments inaccurately claiming Trump was found liable for raping E. Jean Carroll, which misrepresented the judicial outcomes of Carroll's civil suits against him.
As part of the settlement, ABC News will also donate $15 million to a fund dedicated to a presidential foundation for Trump, signaling a significant financial impact.
The agreement includes a public apology from both ABC and Stephanopoulos during a live segment, reinforcing accountability regarding the misleading statements made about the legal verdicts.
