George Stephanopoulos and ABC Apologize to President Trump, Forced to Pay $15 Million Defamation Settlement

George Stephanopoulos

The winning just isn’t stopping. President-Elect Donald Trump received excellent news Saturday as ABC News and George Stephanopoulos agreed to pay $15 million to settle his defamation lawsuit against them.

Perhaps even better is that they must apologize in a “statement of regret”.

According to 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.

This will hurt their pride as much as it hurts their pocketbooks.
