  • ABC News and George Stephanopoulos have reached a settlement with Donald Trump in his defamation suit. The network will pay $15 million to a charity, $1 million in Trump's attorneys' fees, and will issue an apology. CNN chief media analyst Brian Stelter explains what's notable about the settlement.

The article from MSN discusses a defamation lawsuit filed by Dominion Voting Systems against Fox News, where Fox News agreed to pay $1.6 billion to settle the suit. This settlement came after Dominion accused Fox News of spreading false claims about its voting machines during the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election, which suggested that the machines were involved in election fraud. The settlement was one of the largest in media history, reflecting the significant legal and financial repercussions for Fox News due to their coverage. The article also mentions that this case has broader implications for media accountability and the spread of misinformation. However, there is no mention of ABC or a $15 million payment related to Trump in the provided URL content; this might be a mix-up or an error in the query.
