  • ABC News will pay $15 million to Donald Trump's presidential library, settling a defamation lawsuit. Anchor George Stephanopoulos inaccurately claimed Trump was found liable for raping E. Jean Carroll.

The article discusses a lawsuit filed by former President Donald Trump against ABC News and its anchor George Stephanopoulos. Trump is set to receive a $15 million settlement and an apology from ABC News following Stephanopoulos's on-air remark where he incorrectly stated that Trump had been found liable for rape in a civil case. The case in question actually resulted in Trump being found liable for sexual abuse and defamation, not rape. This misrepresentation by Stephanopoulos led to significant backlash and legal action from Trump, culminating in the settlement. The apology from ABC News is intended to clarify the misinformation and acknowledge the error in Stephanopoulos's reporting.
