ABC News has agreed to pay $15M to US President-elect Donald Trump to settle a defamation lawsuit after anchor George Stephanopoulos falsely claimed Trump was found “liable for rape.” The lawsuit stemmed from a March 10, 2024, interview in which Stephanopoulos mischaracterized a jury’s verdict in a civil case, which found Trump liable for “sexual abuse,” not rape, under New York law. As part of the settlement, ABC will contribute $15M to Trump’s future presidential library and pay $1M toward his legal fees.
The network also published an editor’s note expressing regret. Trump continues to appeal related cases involving writer E. Jean Carroll.
