ABC to pay $15 mln to Trump library to settle lawsuit, court documents show

Dec 14, 2024 1:38 PM

Dec 14 (Reuters) - ABC News has agreed to give $15

million to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's presidential

library to settle a lawsuit over comments that anchor George

Stephanopoulos made on air involving the civil case brought

against Trump by writer E. Jean Carroll, a court document filed

on Saturday showed.

The lawsuit, filed on March 19 in U.S. District Court in

Southern Florida, accused Stephanopoulos of making the

statements with malice and a disregard for the truth. It said

the statements were distributed widely to third parties and

repeated.

Representatives for ABC could not be immediately

reached.

The lawsuit cites a March 10 interview with U.S.

Representative Nancy Mace, a Republican who has spoken publicly

about being raped as a teenager. During the interview,

Stephanopoulos said Trump was found liable for rape and asked

her how she could endorse the candidate.
