George Stephanopoulos and ABC Apologize to Trump, Forced to Pay $15 Million to Settle Defamation Suit

Fox News

ABC News and their top anchor George Stephanopoulos have reached a settlement with Donald Trump in his defamation suit, which will result in the news network paying the president-elect $15 million.

The settlement was publicly filed on Saturday, revealing that the two parties have come to an agreement and avoided a costly trial. According to the settlement, ABC News will pay $15 million as a charitable contribution to a “Presidential foundation and museum to be established by or for Plaintiff, as Presidents of the United States of America have established in the past.” Additionally, the network will pay $1 million in Trump’s attorney fees.

Stephanopoulos and ABC News will issue statements of “regret” as an editor’s note at the bottom of a March 10, 2024, online article, about comments made earlier this year that prompted Trump to file a defamation lawsuit.

May 10, 20255 min read
The Arizona Legislature, along with 19 other states, submitted an amicus curiae brief at the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals last week supporting Idaho’s voter ID law, which prohibits student ID cards as an acceptable form of identification for voting. A lower court judge appointed by former President Joe Biden, Amanda K. Brailsford, already ruled in favor of the law, stating that the plaintiffs in March for Our Lives Idaho v.
