Why did ABC News settle a lawsuit with Donald Trump? - Poynter
Briefly

In March, ABC News' George Stephanopoulos interviewed Congresswoman Nancy Mace on Trump's legal issues. Mace's ongoing support for Trump prompted questions from Stephanopoulos, highlighting the tension between political loyalty and allegations of misconduct. The conversation reflected broader Republican sentiments and the challenges faced by GOP members in addressing Trump's controversial past while campaigning for the presidency.

This settlement raises questions about media accountability and the implications for journalistic integrity in addressing politically sensitive topics.
