Trump Wins $15M Settlement from ABC News in Defamation Case

ABC News has agreed to pay $15 million to Donald Trump to settle a defamation lawsuit after anchor George Stephanopoulos falsely claimed Trump was found liable for rape. The settlement includes a $15 million charitable contribution to a presidential foundation and $1 million for Trump's legal fees. ABC will also issue a statement expressing regret for the error. The defamation case stemmed from a March interview where Stephanopoulos repeatedly made the false claim, despite a jury finding Trump liable for sexual abuse, not rape, in a separate case.
