Chuck Todd described ABC News' $15 million settlement with Trump as a "gut punch" to the media, suggesting it sets a concerning precedent for future reporting.
Todd emphasized that ABC likely would have won the defamation suit, hinting that the settlement was a strategic move to mitigate bad publicity instead.
He warned that Trump's history of legal actions could lead to increased litigation from journalists in response to disparagement, following patterns seen in previous cases.
