ABC News to pay Donald Trump $15M
Lawyers for ABC News and Donald Trump have reached a settlement which will see ABC donate $15M to Trump's presidential library and museum. The defamation lawsuit stems from comments made by host George Stephanopoulos in March saying that the former president was found liable for rape. Under New York's narrow definition of rape in legal settings, E. Jean Carroll could not prove Trump committed rape. He was instead found liable for sexual abuse and defamation.
