  • Donald Trump has settled his defamation lawsuit against ABC News and George Stephanopoulos. The news organization and Stephanopoulos have agreed to donate $15 million to a presidential foundation (which is often a presidential library or museum) and will pay $1 million of Trump's legal fees.

Donald Trump has settled a defamation lawsuit against ABC News and George Stephanopoulos, stemming from comments Stephanopoulos made on "This Week" where he incorrectly stated that Trump was found liable for rape in a civil case involving E. Jean Carroll. The settlement details remain confidential, but it was confirmed by Trump's attorney, Alejandro Brito, that the case has been resolved. The lawsuit was filed in May, shortly after Stephanopoulos' on-air remarks, which were later corrected by ABC News. The settlement marks the end of legal action regarding these specific defamation claims, although Trump faces other ongoing legal challenges.
