ABC News has reached a settlement in a defamation lawsuit brought by Donald Trump, agreeing to pay $15 million. As part of the settlement, ABC News, along with George Stephanopoulos, has issued an apology to Trump and will contribute the settlement amount to his presidential library. The decision comes amidst ongoing legal proceedings where Trump was ordered to sit for depositions regarding statements made by Stephanopoulos. This settlement resolves the defamation claims while Trump continues to pursue litigation against other media outlets for alleged dishonest reporting.
